What's Your Biblical Surname?
Friday, September 6, 2024
In the Bible, nobody has a last name. Even people you think have last names really don't; not the way we have them today. Mary Magdalene really means Miriam of Magdala. Magdala was the place she came from. Other biblical people were given second names to communicate their character and life. For instance, Simon Peter or Shimon Kayfah, means Simon the Rock - so he would become like a rock. Simon the Zealot was zealous. James the Just was righteous. These were their biblical surnames. So what's your biblical surname? What surname would those who really know you give you? What surname will God give you when your life is over; with what name will you enter eternity? What will your biblical surname be? Will it be John the Discontented or John the Joyful? Susan the Selfish or Susan the Loving? Karen the Complainer or Karen the Encourager? Robert the Bitter or Robert the Gracious? It's up to you. You still have time to change it, not by virtue of a judge, but by virtue of a changed life. What do you want your biblical surname to be? You decide.
From Message #2146 - Your Eternal Surname
Today, act in the manner that you want to be remembered for. Act in accordance with the Biblical surname you want in heaven.
Scripture: Genesis 35:10
