You will be with child and give birth to a >son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great >and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will >give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over >the house of Jacob forever." > > --Luke 1:30-33 > New International Version > >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE... > Jesus is identified by many names stated or implied in the >four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Notice how Jesus is >identified in just this one passage: child, son, Jesus, great, >Son of the Most High, King, son of David, and leader of Israel >(Jacob). Jesus exhausts all descriptions, and yet chose to be >limited to imperfect descriptions by becoming human. But this >flood of names and descriptions helps us find Jesus a Savior in >every trial and blessing of life. Jesus is Savior for all >seasons. > > >MY PRAYER... > Holy and Almighty Father, I thank you for all the ways Jesus >is described and all the names he is given. They help me see >the breadth of his nature and the depth of his character. >Please bless me so I may always find a dimension of Jesus' >ministry or a name or description of Jesus to help sustain me, >when I walk through the shadows of doubt caused by the evil >one. Help me, O Father, to see Jesus and not my preoccupations >and biases so that when he comes again, I will know him, and he >me. Through the glorious name of the Savior I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.28940.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
