Grace for your spirit
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter). John 1:42
Many times in Bible history we see people getting name changes. Most of these name changes came to change the identity of a person who has a great job to do. So it was with this man. Simon was going to be called into the inner circle with Jesus. He would need to cut his ties with the past, and be a new man for Christ. Jesus changed his name to "a rock". He certainly would face many challenges, and he would have to be a rock. When we are called out of the world, washed in the blood of the Lamb, God gives us a new name too. With Christ in us, we wear the name Christian. Let’s make it our life’s goal to change our life, and live up to the name we have been given.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
