An Angel told Mary to call her baby "JESUS". Therefore, if Mary had been told at that time, how the world would eventually be touched by the name of her Son, she would have been amazed and astounded.
In Mary's day, "JESUS" was a fairly common name. It was the Aramaic equivalent of Joshua. What was uncommon were the circumstances surrounding JESUS'S birth, HIS life, ministry, as well as HIS death and resurrection.
Today, baby boys are still named JESUS, especially in Latin American countries. Whenever, you hear the name of JESUS without reference to a last name, there is no doubt about who is being mention. HE is the beautiful SAVIOR with the beautiful name whose grace transforms the pain and sorrow of an ugly world and makes it a beautiful place to live.
"JESUS" ----speak and sing that name with joy!

Prayer
Make the names of JESUS a work of art. Regardless of your artistic abilities, take crayons or markers and print JESUS in the middle of a blank sheet. Thank HIM for the hope HIS name brings.
