Your name is spoken.



John 20:14–16

[Mary] turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

You react differently when you hear your name. In a crowd it makes you turn your head and look for someone you know.

Mary didn't know it was Jesus at first. That changed when she heard him say her name: "Mary."

The risen Jesus calls out to you. You won't find your first and last name written on a page, but you will find history written for you.

Your name is known by the one who conquered death — and that changes everything.

What does it look like to hear your Savior call your name on the pages of scripture? How does that change everything for you?

After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

Jonah 2:5–6 The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever.
