Naming The Boys

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.  Matthew 1:21 Two sons, two people told to not be afraid, and both given names to apply that their parents might not otherwise have chosen. The names for these two boys were chosen by God and sent by His special messenger. Names can be, and probably are, much more important than we realize in this age. John, with no name like that among his relatives, would go on to prepare the way for the One coming whose sandal strap he was not worthy to loose. Jesus would do as the angel said and save His people from their sins. These two boys were linked from an early age, before both were born in fact. One boy not worthy, and one boy found worthy in time to open the seven-sealed scroll as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. And if I may say it this fine morning,

Great is the name of our Lord!
