What is known according to our secular calendars as New Year's Day is known in the church as "The Name of Jesus." Jewish babies were named on the eighth day, so it is today that Jesus would have been named Jesus. So we celebrate that name and what it means and gives us. It means "God saves." That's a blessing worth celebrating. So our text today that I offer to you is a blessing from God first spoken by Moses:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the Israelites: You shall say to them,
The LORD bless you and keep you;
the LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
the LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
So they shall put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
