Learning Names

What do a door, a star, and a vine all have in common? Give up? They are all names for Jesus! (Take a look at John 10:9, Revelation 22:16, and John 15:1.) At the start of a school year there can be lots of names to learn. New classmates. New teachers. You may even be learning the name of a new school! Names are a pretty important part of knowing someone, aren’t they? That’s true of knowing Jesus, too. When you read some of the names of Jesus in the Bible, it is a good idea to stop and think about what that name tells us about Jesus. And if you aren’t sure what a name means (like Bridegroom in John 3:29), just ask!
