A Voice in the Wilderness

What's in a name?

Santa Claus…St. Nick…Papa Noel…
Most of us can list off several different names for Santa. Each name evoking a slightly different understanding St. Nicholas..
Wonderful…Counselor…Mighty God…Prince of Peace…
These are some of the names and titles attributed to the son of Mary: Jesus
This is the short list.
I wonder how many other names you might be able to think of that we have for Jesus?
Jesus.
What a name it is! A name that thrills the heart and gladdens the soul.
Peter, speaking to the Jewish council in the book of Acts, says “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
Why not take this name upon your lips and know his saving grace today!

Blessings,

Matthew+

Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. (BCP pg.213)

A word about Stewardship

We seek to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and generosity at St. Johns. As we give thanks for what we have received, we acknowledge the abundance of God’s blessings. In following Jesus, we come to find a peace and true joy in living beyond ourselves. From this place of love and grace we are invited to offer the whole of our lives to God and others as Jesus has done. We take a few simple steps that begin to open our hearts and lives to be generous stewards of all the gifts we have been given.
