What Do You Call Him?

JANUARY 04, 2022
Daily Reading – Genesis 3-5 / Matthew 2

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 1:21 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

   In Matthew 2:15 it says Jesus was called out of Egypt. Egypt has long been a biblical picture of the world. We find here that Jesus gave a great example to all humanity. As did Israel, Jesus came out of Egypt, a picture of coming out of the world and its worldliness.

     In verse 23 it says He was called a Nazarene. The people of Nazareth were not looked upon fondly. To be called a Nazarene was a sign of contempt. Christians too are often unfairly labeled and are called names by the world after accepting Christ. It really matters not what the world calls Jesus.     

WHAT DO YOU SAY:

    The most important question is,
what do you call Him?
