Today marks the 250th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. And contrary to what some would have you believe, I have only been around for a small portion of those years. I mean about 25% isn't such a large portion is it? It is rather a larger portion than I would have expected though. Now I'm feeling a bit older. Maybe something further back, King David reigned in Israel around 3,000 years ago, a certain son of David was beginning his ministry in Judea 2,000 years ago, and in 1025 King Cnut of Denmark ruled over England, Denmark, and parts of Norway. If you want to pronounce his name how I want to pronounce it, we would both be in trouble in his royal court. The Cnut ruled over 2 1/2 countries, so let's stop giggling and be serious! Okay, I had to pause for a minute or two there, but I'm back.
Historical names may look funny to us on the written page, or even sound humorous to us in speech. And that, my beloved friend, is why God's name was not spoken and Jesus bears a name only He knows. Once we are fully cleansed by the blood of the Lamb and restored to our Father in Heaven, we will treasure the names of the Lord in a loving way.
In the name of the Lord Jesus,
Bucky
