Isaiah 9:1-7 & 11:1-9 The Coming King First Sunday in Advent
What’s in a name? Apparently quite a lot. When parents are considering the name for their child many consult book lists, while others go with family names, or simply a gut feeling about the name.
Here is a list of the top ten names in the US for boys and girls from 2006 from the Social Security Administration. From most popular:
Boys: Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Ethan, Matthew, Daniel, Christopher, Andrew, Anthony, William
Girls: Emily, Emma, Madison, Isabella, Ava, Abigail, Olivia, Hannah, Sophia, Samantha
This passage from Isaiah offer the best all time names for Christ Jesus. Unlike our favorite names for our children, these tend to be descriptive of Jesus attributes and abilities. It is a pretty cool list; take a look. We are going to be looking at these names and learning more about the Christ and ourselves. The goal is that this investigation will lead us all a little closer to home.
Blessings, Dave Weesner
