Title: What's in a Name?
What's in a Name? According
to a newspaper item, James Williams of Beaumont, TX, promised his wife
Cosandra that she could choose the name for their baby girl. "Just before
we got married, Cosandra told me that she wanted our child's first name
to contain parts of every family name ever used," said Williams. "I didn't
think it was too great an idea, but I agreed to compromise. We decided
I would name the boys and she would name the girls."
Early in September Cosandra
had a baby girl. The baby is called Jameshauwnell, short for an unpronounceable,
1,019-letter conglomeration of letters (as in The Calgary Herald, Sept.
19).
In the case of Mary and
Joseph, the angel gave the name of the child to be born of Mary by the
Spirit of God. The angel instructed Joseph that the child was to be called
Jesus, a name full of meaning, the Greek equivalent of Joshua, meaning
that Jehovah saves His people. We are glad that Heaven decided on that
name, for it is full of significance to us sinners.
See: Matt 1:21; Acts 4:10
Title: What?
Graffiti found on a wall
of St. John's University:
Jesus said unto them:
"Who do you say that I am?"
And they replied: "You
are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being, the kerygma
in which we find the ultimate meaning of our interpersonal relationships."
And Jesus said: "What?"
See: Phil 2:9-11
