Reflection - Relating With God - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Source (book): "Making All Things New", 52 Reflections to Challenge the Way You Live, Chapter 10, "Hallowed Be Thy Name", Page 60.
By Robert M. Solomon, Bishop of the Methodist Church in Singapore from 2000 - 2012


 A young boy was taught the Lord's Prayer.
PHOTO: A young boy was taught the Lord's Prayer. It was amazing how quickly he memorised the prayer after learning it by rote (mechanically). He was too young to understand what he was saying. For there were too many big words, but he impressed his proud parents with his recitation. When their pastor visited them, they need to show off their son's abilities by asking him to recite the prayer. The pastor noticed that the boy did very well except that he said "hollowed be Thy name". He pointed this out to the parents and they had a good laugh.

This mistake caused by childhood innocence and ignorance points us to realities about which we cannot afford to laugh. In real life, there is often a hollowing out of God's name in so many different ways. Sometimes, it is very deliberate. For instance, the German mental band Mob Rules is known for its song "Hollowed be Thy Name", a parody (a humorous or mocking imitation) of the Lord's Prayer. Alas, many Christians are guilty of the same. They may not do it deliberately, in open defiance of God, but they make God's name hollow through spiritual neglect and ignorance.

To hollow out God's name is to drain the life-giving content out of God's name. It is to end up with a form of godliness without the power (2 Timothy 3:5). It results in a wasteland of lifeless idols, made to serve eager consumers thirsting for security and happiness, pleasure and plenty. We cannot fault God even if He had left us to our fate and condemned us to perish with our distorted and anaemic (weak) notions of Him. But He acted otherwise. It is to this world of hollowed out images that Christ came to show us who our Creator God is. Jesus brought back the content into our depleted ideas of God.

When we believe in Christ, we are baptised in the name of the triune God and are called to live and thrive in that name. Alas, for many Christians, God's name is hollowed out in no time. A faith that is sustained only by emotions, neglect of careful Bible study and Christian doctrine, and a self-centred approach to Christian living are some reasons for this.

Some people think that Christian doctrine and truth are not important as long as one gets some kind of memorable spiritual experience. This is one way to hollow out God's name. After all, didn't Jesus teach that God is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth (John 4:24)? It can be argued that the whole purpose of the Christian life is to cure us of our idolatries, to remove the bankrupt images and empty names of God that fill our hearts and minds.

Paul's prayer for his fellow Christians was that they would grow into maturity until Christ was formed in them (Galatians 4:19). He envisioned Christians carrying in their hearts a full and rich image and name of God.

The ancient Israelites, or at least those among them who were godly, treated the name of the Lord with great reverence. The third commandment forbade the careless and irreverence use of God's name. The scribes who copied the Scriptures by hand (and that was the only way they could produce new copies) trembled whenever they came across the name of God - YHWH (Yahweh). Readers who read the Scriptures aloud used the substitute word adonai (Lord) to avoid using God's name. Perhaps this reluctance to use God's name came from the fear of abusing that name. In ancient worlds, it was also believed that pronouncing someone's name placed that person under your control and authority.

In family life, we still avoid addressing our parents by name. We are horrified if a child addresses his parents the way he does his friends. It appears that we have some innate (inborn) sense of reverence in our cultures.

To hallow God's name is to have reverence for Him. The word "hallow" means "to set apart". To hallow God's name is therefore to treat it as very special. We are not to trivialise (make light of) God. We are indeed guilty if we use God's name flippantly (disrespectfully) and worship God superficially (on the surface).

Consider a series of advertisements which featured messages purportedly from God. While it might have seemed like a clever way to evangelise, such practices can trivialise God by giving license to people to put forward their own thoughts and sign off as God.

Or take the practice of giving a round of applause to God, a practice that has spread to many parts of the world, including very remote regions. Is this a movement of the Holy Spirit? Or could it be the result of the global marketing of Christian music and certain worship leading styles? I believe that many who applaud God in public worship are sincere Christians wanting to glorify God. But we need to think more deeply about such things.

We applaud whenever we appreciate someone or something. It has become so common in everyday secular life that now, when people want to show hearty appreciation, they stand to clap. But that is the problem. Applause is an indication of appreciation. The audience appreciates the performer. The one who claps is the patron. However, in God's presence, we are called to do far more than merely appreciate Him. We are to worship and revere God, fall at His feet, and tremble in His presence. When I pointed this out to a group of Indian believers, I reminded them of a better way from their own culture. When they stand in front of deity, they bring their hands together silently. A more excellent way of showing humanility and reverence in God's presence, if you ask me.

We can develop attitudes of humility and reverence before God by resisting tendencies to domesticate (tame) Him, trying to shape Him to fit our superficial, triumphalist (delighted), and self-glorifying agendas. Rather, we must allow Him to shape us to fit His agenda, which often involves suffering and sacrifice on our part. We must realise that we cannot control God, that He is a God of mystery, vaster and holier than we can imagine. Job, in his suffering, realised this and ended up hallowing God's name (Job 42:1-6).

To trivialise God's name is to serve a weightless god. Such a pet god produces petty people. The God of the Bible is different. He is truly set apart. He is a class of His own. Let us live in his presence with awe, reverence, humility, and love. May we hallow His name and follow His path. May others who observe us realise that we worship one whose name is a deep ocean of holy truth and love.

To trivialise God's name is to serve a weightless god. Such a pet god produces petty people. The God of the Bible is different. He is truly set apart. He is a class of His own. Let us live in his presence with awe, reverence, humility, and love. May we hallow His name and follow His path. May others who observe us realise that we worship one whose name is a deep ocean of holy truth and love.
