What’s in a Name?
Is there a story behind your name? Often, the names we were given are family names. Carrying the memory of a loved one in the next generation. But no matter where your name came from, names are important.
The actor and poet Jude Idada said, “Names are powerful and are prophecies of the future. The name you are called is a sign of what you are and what you would become.”
Throughout the Bible names have always had tremendous significance. None more important than the name of our Savoir. Isaiah 7:14 says.
“Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Immanuel means “God with us”.
The very name of Jesus was a reminder that God wrapped Himself in human flesh and became one of us so that He would die in our place.
The Creator of the Heavens and Earth He knows your name. Do you know Him?
