Several years ago, they sought permission from the city to change their 5-year-old son's name to Yo Xing Heyno Augustus Eisner Alexander Weiser Knuckles Jeremijenko-Conley. Actually, a lot of that name was already his, but his parents added three of the middle names. They had specific reasons for each one. I believe that God had specific reasons for the names He included in the beginning of Matthew's gospel. It may seem like a long, boring list of meaningless names, but those names served at least two purposes. First, they provided the framework by which true Hebrews could establish their family roots and maintain religious purity against outside influences. Second, the names reflected the sovereign work of God. They revealed God's dealings in the past, which resulted in the birth of the Messiah. The Lord used all kinds of people in Jesus' lineage-farmers, kings, a prostitute, adulterers, liars. When we read this list, we are reminded of God's faithfulness. As you think about being a part of God's family by faith in Christ, remember His faithfulness to you and His desire to use you to bring about His purposes. -Marvin Williams <http://www.rbc.org/devotionals/our_daily_bread/writer/51087.aspx> O God, grant me the strength of heart, Of motive, and of will To falter not but do my part Your purpose to fulfill. -Anon. Life's purpose is found in a person-Jesus Christ. Jumat, 14 September NAMA DEMI NAMA Inilah daftar nenek moyang Yesus Kristus, anak Daud, anak Abraham (Matius 1:1) Bacaan: Matius 1:1-17 Setahun: Amsal 19-21; 2 Korintus 7 Dalton Conley, seorang ahli sosiologi di New York University, dan istrinya, Natalie Jeremijenko, dikaruniai dua orang anak. Beberapa tahun silam, mereka meminta izin kepada dewan kota untuk mengubah nama putra mereka yang berusia lima tahun menjadi Yo Xing Heyno Augustus Eisner Alexander Weiser Knuckles Jeremijenko-Conley. Sebenarnya, sebagian besar nama itu memang namanya, tetapi orangtuanya menambahkan tiga nama tengah. Dan, mereka memiliki alasan yang khusus untuk setiap tambahan nama tersebut. Saya yakin Allah pasti memiliki alasan khusus untuk mencantumkan nama-nama yang terdaftar di awal Injil Matius. Sekilas mungkin daftar itu tampak seperti sebuah daftar nama yang tidak berarti, yang panjang dan membosankan, tetapi ternyata daftar itu memiliki setidaknya dua tujuan. Pertama, nama-nama itu memberi kerangka bagi orang-orang Ibrani sejati untuk dapat melestarikan silsilah keluarga mereka dan menjaga kemurnian religius untuk melawan pengaruh dari luar. Kedua, nama-nama tersebut mencerminkan karya tangan Allah yang berdaulat dan menyingkap campur tangan Allah di masa lalu, yang kemudian berujung pada kelahiran Sang Mesias. Tuhan memakai berbagai macam orang di dalam silsilah-Nya; ada petani, raja, pelacur, pezina, pendusta. Ketika membaca daftar ini, kita diingatkan pada besarnya kesetiaan Allah. Saat Anda mengingat bagaimana Anda telah menjadi anggota keluarga Allah melalui iman dalam Kristus, ingatlah kesetiaan-Nya terhadap Anda dan hasrat-Nya untuk memakai Anda dalam mewujudkan segala rencana-Nya -MLW TUJUAN HIDUP DITEMUKAN DALAM DIRI SATU PRIBADI-YESUS KRISTUS ________________________________ Matius 1:1-17 1:1 Inilah silsilah Yesus Kristus, anak Daud, anak Abraham. 1:2 Abraham memperanakkan Ishak, Ishak memperanakkan Yakub, Yakub memperanakkan Yehuda dan saudara-saudaranya, 1:3 Yehuda memperanakkan Peres dan Zerah dari Tamar, Peres memperanakkan Hezron, Hezron memperanakkan Ram, 1:4 Ram memperanakkan Aminadab, Aminadab memperanakkan Nahason, Nahason memperanakkan Salmon, 1:5 Salmon memperanakkan Boas dari Rahab, Boas memperanakkan Obed dari Rut, Obed memperanakkan Isai, 1:6 Isai memperanakkan raja Daud.
