What a Beautiful Name

November 30, 2016 By mollieh02 Leave a Comment

Have you ever said the name of Jesus and it felt as if you had just said the name of the person you love?  That same ripple of excitement runs through you.  There is a swelling of your heart, and that peace that comes when you think of the one you love.  It’s exciting and calming all at the same time.  Only this love is so much better, because this love will never leave you.  This love will never forget or refuse to fight for you, and this love is always only a whisper away.

That song gives me chills and brings a rush of love along with it.  If you don’t know that feeling when you say the name of Jesus I encourage you to pick up an Advent study and really focus in on Him.  Put all the worries that you carry with you on the back burner for a bit each day and embrace Him in this season that is all about Him.  The more you know about Him, the more you will fall in love with Him.  The same principles apply as when you were getting to know  the person you love.  Study Him, learn His likes and dislikes, take in His life experiences.  To know Him is to love Him.  He did after all create you  me to be in relationship with Him.  He longs for us to seek Him.

This Advent season I am studying the many names of Jesus.  I am loving diving into the unique meanings behind each name.  Each reveals a different facet, a different face, a different side to the Savior.  He would have to have many sides to fulfill the promise in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 which says He becomes all things to all men so that He might save some.  The Advent study I am doing with my study group is Unwrapping the Names of Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu.  You can read the review I did on this study here.  It is a daily devotional that goes over a different name of Jesus each day!  I love that even though I did this study last year I am finding new meaning in it this year as I am in a different season of life.

Here are a few more Advent books you might enjoy:

Fall in love with Jesus this Advent season as you spend time getting to know Him!  It will be time well spent!
