Luke 1:30-33 (NIV)
30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be
afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will
conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.32 He will
be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will
give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over
Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
Jesus is identified by many names stated or implied in the
four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Notice how Jesus is identified in
just this one passage: child, son, Jesus, great, Son of the Most High, King,
son of David, and leader of Israel (Jacob). Jesus exhausts all descriptions,
and yet chose to be limited to imperfect descriptions by becoming human. But
this flood of names and descriptions helps us find Jesus as our Savior in every
trial and blessing of life. Jesus is Savior for all seasons.
Thought for today: What is God (name) in my life?
