Jesus did many things in the presence of His disciples, such as healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, preaching and teaching. He was a man of prayer and His disciples witnessed this custom. They asked him to teach them how to pray, because, like many of us, they simply did not know how.

Then he was praying in a certain place; and when He stopped, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, [just] as John taught his disciples. Luke 11:1.

His reply is what many people call "The Lord's Prayer". To be correct, we should call this "The Disciples Prayer" because His prayer is recorded in passages like John 17. His reply gave us a pattern for prayer.

And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. Your will be done [held holy and revered] on earth as it is in heaven. Luke 11:2.

Please notice the words, Hallowed be your Name.

Jesus revealed to us the importance of God's name. Many of us have little regard today for the importance of names. Proverbs 22:1 says-
A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.

God is a Spirit. The only way we can worship Him is in the similar dimension. That is... in the dimension of the spirit, but can we comprehend the incomprehendable...the invisible God who dwells in light? He knows all this and has gone to great lengths to reveal Himself to us in many ways through His Word. One way of doing this is to show us who He is; what He is like; what He does and how He operates is by sharing his many faceted being through His Covenant Names. You and I have a name. By using this name, we can be identified. God has many names by which we can identify Him.

This page shares some of the various Covenant Names of God. I know that you will be blessed. I was when I prepared this.

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!” Genesis 15:1-2.

Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.  For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. Psalm 36:5-9.

Jehovah-Qanna

You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth;  you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

The Psalmist spoke about Jesus, saying,

"Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my God; Your Law is within my heart.”
Psalm 40:7-8.

The writer of the book of Hebrews said of Jesus,

'Then said I, Lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God" Hebrews 10:7.

Every chapter in every book of the bible reveals Jesus. To conclude this study, we share something of this with you. I think you will be blessed and surprised.

The bible speaks much about Jesus, whether in direct language, or in types and shadows and in prophecy form.

From the beginning of time, Jesus was the Lamb who was slain before the foundations of the world.

Many of these prophecies about Jesus have already been fulfilled.

Some are yet to be fulfilled and this is actually happening right now.

See the Companion Page "The Messiah In Prophecy" that lists prophecies concerning Jesus, where they are found and when they were fulfilled.

I have shared them without comment, to supplement this particular study so that you can discover for yourself that Jesus is revealed from page one of the bible right through to the end... the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end and all in between.
