Called by our own names

Morning Psalm 68; Genesis 28:10-22; Hebrews 11:13-22
Evening Psalm 72; John 10:7-17
Do you remember names? Our names are important to God, because we are. Jesus calls us by name into unique lives that only we can live. Jacob, called by name, felt the awesome presence of God. He knew that the earth is God’s temple and that everything comes from God. Like the ancient Hebrews, we can feel like strangers and foreigners on the earth, yet we live in the promise and hope of ‘a homeland’ where we are known by name and loved: the Kingdom of God. Christian community is a foretaste.
