Meaning of the Name

Lucas

Christopher

Origin ~ Greek & Latin
Meaning ~ carrier of Christ, having Christ within

耀

Pronunciation ~ "Yiu"
Meaning ~ to shine, to illuminate, to reflect, to be bright

We pray that Lucas will shine not for his own sake but for our Lord’s. It'd be a blessing for him to grow and become a responsible disciple, to illuminate God's grace among his generation.



Pronunciation ~ "Nok"
Meaning ~ covenant, promise

We pray that Lucas will remember the covenant between God and His people, He'll never forsake them and His love endures forever.

馬太福音5:14-16

你們是世上的光。城造在山上是不能隱藏的。
人點燈,不放在斗底下,是放在燈臺上,就照亮一家的人。
你們的光也當這樣照在人前,叫他們看見你們的好行為,
便將榮耀歸給你們在天上的父。

Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand,
and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before men,
that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in heaven.
