What a Beautiful NameSample

What are some names that have special meaning to you? The name of your favourite sportsperson? The name of your favourite band or singer? The name of your favourite candy or snack? The name of your pet?

How does hearing or thinking about those names make you feel?

Now, focus and think about one more name and what that name means to you.

What does the name of Jesus mean to you? Who is Jesus to you?

Here’s what happened when Jesus asked the disciples what they thought. He asked them, “Who do men say that I am?”

The disciples answered, “Some people say you’re John the Baptist, some say you’re a prophet like Elijah.”

Jesus asked them, “But who do YOU say that I am?”

Think about how you would answer that question. What does the name of Jesus mean to you? Is He just a man that you hear stories about or is He your Saviour, friend, Lord, and King?
