It was the angel Gabriel who told Mary her son shall be named Jesus.
Some of us are named after relatives or saints. But names can also do us favors like mentioning a name to cut in line, or citing acquaintance with an esteemed professor or politician to move up in position. Today, we reflect on Jesus’s name, which means “God saves” in Hebrew.
What is in the name of Jesus? Quite simply and profoundly: this name leads us through any door we need to pass through to find both consolation and joy in our journey to Heaven. The power in His Name will not let us down.
What does Jesus’s name mean to you? How do you live in His name?
Let us pray for the strength in Jesus to lead us this day! Amen.
