What's in a name?
Thursday, 5th week of Lent
Perhaps, Abraham's story may be our own faith story of our journey to Jesus.
In our own journey, there is a time we have been called, when we have been saved, forgiven, and given life. Our lives have meaning only with, in, and through God who loves us eternally.
There was a time when we were given a name. Name is a mark of intimacy and familiarity. Only people who are familiar with other peoples names know them through and through.
A name is a visible sign of a covenant. God loves us as to give us a name. Our names are manifestations that God values us.
God also has a name, "I am who am." Through this He is inviting people of all generations to be familiar to Him and really know Him."
Jesus said, "Before Abraham, I am." Jesus establishes his link with the Father; He too is God-with-us.
For us to truly live eternally, let us rekindle our covenant with God in Jesus Christ. This is the key to salvation and life itself.
