FICTION FRIDAY

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21 KJV)

What’s in a name? Do you know what your name means? Mine means “lady of the house”, which is a hoot, as much as I dislike all things related to cooking, cleaning, and housework. So, I seek to fulfill my name in other ways, by creating a place of rest and solitude, a safe place, filled with books and cats and not much else.

But what about God’s Son, Jesus? His name comes from the Hebrew language and means ‘the Lord is salvation’. How appropriate, given His life and His calling. He came to earth to save God’s people—which includes all of us who receive and believe in Him—from our sins.

When the angel visited Mary and told her about this name, she didn’t question the message because it wasn’t about the child’s moniker—it was about God’s plan for this child. And He fulfilled His calling in every way—showing us how to live every day, how to take up our cross daily, how to face obstacles, and how to enter into resurrection power, where we are assured that death, hell, and the grave have no power over us.

Jesus is indeed our salvation, and so much more. He brings light into our dark world and dark hearts. He offers hope in hopeless situations, healing where no medicine can help, and life eternal with Him.

Today, as you consider your own name and its meaning, think also on Jesus and what His name, life, and death mean to you.
