25.03.31 “Petra or Petros?” (Matt. 16:13-18)

 

We’ve all heard the question, ‘what’s in a name’? So, I wonder what you know about your name? Why was that name chosen for you? What does your name mean to you and others? Yesterday I left you in Caesarea Philippi with Jesus and His disciples and they were wrestling with the significance of NAMES! Jesus had asked them who people thought He was, and then Jesus asked them who THEY, His disciples, thought He was. You may recall that both Joseph and Mary had been given very specific angelic instructions to name Mary’s miraculous baby “Jesus” (Luke 1:31 & Matt. 1:21) because “He will save His people from their sins.” ‘Jesus’ means “Savior” or “Deliverer”, but you probably knew that already, didn’t you?
