Jesus – a beautiful, powerful, and glorious name!<\/p>\n

Luke 1:31 states, “You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.”<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your name? Is that the name your grandma and grandpa call you? Your teachers and coaches? How about uncles and aunts?<\/p>\n

Jesus… what a beautiful name it is!<\/strong> It\u2019s a powerful, loving, and sweet name with so much authority. It is a name given by God and has dominion above all other names. This name is so unique that at this name, all people everywhere will eventually bow, honor this name, and call Him LORD! Jesus is known as Savior, The Good Shepherd, The Way, The Truth, The Life; King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Living Water; Living Bread, Bright and Morning Star.<\/p>\n

Here are some activities to deepen your understanding of who Jesus is and celebrate His great name:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Search<\/strong> the scriptures this summer and find as many Bible verses as you can of names for Jesus.<\/li>\n
  2. Create<\/strong> a book with all the names you found.<\/li>\n
  3. Design<\/strong> a cover for your book with some of the names that are most important to you.<\/li>\n
  4. Make<\/strong> a list of these names and use them in your conversations with others as you share who Jesus is.<\/li>\n
  5. Use<\/strong> these names in your daily prayers.<\/li>\n
  6. Review<\/strong> your learning with family and friends. Explore who Jesus says He is by creating or enjoying an electronic game with visual hints.<\/li>\n
  7. Plan<\/strong> and invite families, neighbors, and others for a spelling bee with ice cream as everyone gets the scoop on who Jesus really is.<\/li>\n
  8. Celebrate<\/strong> His great name with joy and gratitude.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let’s embark on this journey of discovering the depth and significance of Jesus’ name. Embrace His love, guidance, and power as you grow in your faith.<\/p>\n

    Prayer<\/h3>\n

    Write your prayer using several of the names of Jesus you studied.<\/p>\n

    Dear Lord Jesus, You alone are LORD over everything, everywhere, all the time! Thank You so much for saving us when we confess our sins and invite You into all we are and all we do. You are the only Savior of the world! I love You! Because of who You are, I bow in prayer, praise, and thanksgiving! Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n
