The Names of Christ: 2014 Advent Devotional

The Names of Christ is an Advent Devotional framed around three guiding descriptors: Names Depicting His Stature, Names Depicting His Character, and Names Depicting His Works. This twenty-five day pilgrimage explores some of the names of Christ and how they point us to Him and how we can emulate His perfect life.

A name is important. A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches… (Proverbs 22:1a NJKV) The reception, cooperation, and trust we receive from others will be filtered through their understanding of the name we have earned based on our character. Your name will precede you into a meeting. Your name will precede you into a relationship. Your name will precede you in conversations with neighbors or co-workers, or anyone else you are attempting to influence. Your name will walk into the room before you do. Before you speak a single word to another person, your name will have already spoken volumes, and will influence their understanding of anything that comes out of your mouth. Yes, a good name is critically important. The Son of God has been referred to by the best names of all. This advent devotional will explore twenty-five of them.
