New Advent Devotional

“What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.”
Romeo and Juliet


Juliet may not have cared what Romeo's last name was, but neither of them would escape the tragedy of it.

So what's in a name? Quite a lot, actually.

All words mean something and we can trace many words back to their origin; words that describe a characteristic or attribute of the thing.

For example, the word horse can be traced back to an ancient Latin root, currere meaning "to run."

Yes, I'm a word nerd! I enjoy looking into the etymology (beginnings) of words. I believe understanding what words mean can give us deeper insight into so many things.

In fact, the word etymology itself comes from a Latin word meaning "speaking the truth" or "conveying the truth."

This brings me to my point!

There are over a hundred names referring to God or Jesus in the Bible. And each one gives us a unique insight into His character.

As the Advent season approaches, I'm preparing a special gift just for you!

A unique Advent devotional entitled: Introducing. . . Jesus: An Advent Celebration.

I designed Introducing... Jesus: An Advent Celebration to give us a glimpse into the great HIStory of Jesus. Revealing a new facet of His character with the unveiling of each name.

Each day, beginning November 28th, you'll receive an Advent devotional featuring:
  • a scripture reading revealing the name of Jesus
  • historical background or reflection
  • spiritual and personal application
  • celebration prompt

My prayer is that these daily devotions will be an island of calm in an often hectic season and a safe place for you to draw near to JESUS.
