Day 268 - John Saturday (chapters 19-21)
“Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.’ She turned and said to him in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni,’ which means teacher.” (John 20:16 ESV)
The risen Lord Jesus reveals Himself to a very confused and grieving Mary by simply speaking her name.
That is exactly what He did for you on the day of your baptism. (Your Name) I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
God loves you as an individual. You are special to Him! Isaiah put it this way:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1 ESV)
Yes, do not be afraid, God has chosen you through your baptism, redeemed by the death of His Son on Calvary’s cross, and calls you by your name!
Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong; They are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
My dear Savior, just as You called Mary by name, You have called me by my name. Thank You for loving me personally and redeeming me from eternal death. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow.
