This is made particularly clear by the fact that we call God “thee.” Second-person singular forms are for either subordinates and inferiors, or else very close and intimate relationships. A feudal peasant, serf, or slave who addressed his liege lord as “thee” without permission would certainly have been punished, quite possibly beaten. And yet our Lord has had us addressing Him as “thee” for so long that we don’t even realize what it means any more.
