A Name

An ancient Jewish saying goes like this, "As he is named, so he will be".
Benjamin means "Son of my right hand" and that is my deepest reality, a son of God's right hand.

And so we are led to name our son Noah Ryan.
Noah means or sounds like the hebrew word for, "Rest and Comfort"
Ryans means, "Little King"
And of course you think of Noah in the Biblical text being a man of Faith and Righteousness who "walked with God".

Therefore we pray our son will become a man who will walk by faith in his place as a little King (prince) of our God who brings rest and comfort in the name of Jesus to all he comes to know.

ReJesus


I'm reading a new book about Christology. Simply put for leaders in the church and followers of Jesus alike we must ask the question who is Jesus? and from that answer ask what was his Mission and from that ask how we join with him in our time and place as his church (Ecclesiology). And this book is all about who this "Wild Messiah for the Missional Church" is.
