Marked By His Name

May 27, 2015

The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. —Acts 11:26

In July 1860, the world’s first nursing school opened at St. Thomas Hospital in London. Today that school is part of the King’s College, where nursing students are called Nightingales. The school—like modern nursing itself—was established by Florence Nightingale, who revolutionized nursing during the Crimean War. When prospective nurses complete their training, they take the “Nightingale Pledge,” a reflection of her ongoing impact on nursing.

Many people, like Florence Nightingale, have had a significant impact on our world. But no one has had a greater effect than Jesus, whose birth, death, and resurrection have been transforming lives for 2,000 years.

Around the world, Christ’s name marks those who are His followers, going back to the earliest days of the church. “When [Barnabas] had found [Saul], he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch” (Acts 11:26).

Those who bear Christ’s name identify with Him because we have been changed by His love and grace. We declare to the world that He has made an eternal difference in our lives and we long for that in the hearts of others too.

Father, give me the grace and wisdom to honor You. May my life be so marked by the person of Christ that His great name—and salvation—will be embraced by others as well.

Followers of Christ—Christians—are marked by His name.

INSIGHT: Antioch was a significant city for the early church. An assembly of believers was birthed there, and Barnabas (“the son of encouragement”) was sent from Jerusalem to help them (Acts 11:22). Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, stayed with this growing church for a year, which helped prepare him for his role as an apostle.

[Jane Long]

Oh noes!! Did your fridge go on the fritz, ML?

[MEG33]

Thank you, (((Jane)))
A LOUD crack of thunder awoke me about 1:20am last night. The sun is actually shining today!
I grieve for all those lost in these storms.
More rain forecast through Sunday.

[MEG33]

I hope your fridge gets fixed soon!
Thank you for the cute bunny.

Oh Nooos

I am sorry I gave that impression. I was just talking about Florida’s State Flower (which is warm and fuzzy). Mt Fridge is OK! LOL!

Sometimes I don’t express myself well. :-)

[Jane Long]

I know....prayers up for all affected. So much tragedy and loss.

Yes, I read that more rain is coming....hope it’s not a deluge, like Monday night. Friends of ours got over 8’ of water in their home.

[Jane Long]

"Is your refrigerator running?"

....couldn't resist :-) Glad all is okay!

[MEG33]

The streets in some areas were suitable for boating here...Many cars got caught in flash flooding...We once had a cabin at Lake Mexia...The homes are flooded there.
My neighborhood is safe from flooding and I am grateful.
I am sorry for your friend.

Jesus rested in complete and total TRUST. We are to trust Jesus completely in love. Those who love Him will obey His commands. Love your neighbor as yourself, have faith in God, follow the commandments of God. Trust the scriptures.

America has become very like the Laodiceans,

Revelation 3:14-19. ..lukewarm!!! ...

“I know thy works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot, I will spue you out of my mouth ... 19 “as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”

Forgive us Lord we know not what we do. open our heart to Thy WORD. We praise the lord for his goodness, tender mercy, loving kindness, in Jesus name. AMEN!
