Moses wants to know God’s name. Lame man healed by the name. There is power in the name. Power for mischief occasionally. But typically the holy power of God’s transformation. Like when Israel was in Babylon and God restored them for his name. The name of God in the world is important. Jews wont say it. Jesus tells us to pray for it. Isaiah is beset when he encounters God’s holy name, and is only ready to go afterwards. Like Brandon. Like us—baptized into the name. We all are live for the sake of the name, but some have to go. We are to help them go. Because the name is enough.
