JEREMIAH 14:9 (CEB)
You are in our midst, LORD;
we are called by your name.
Don’t give up on us.

It was in Antioch where the disciples were first labeled “Christians.”

Our identity is in our name, Christian.
DAILY FODDER
How obvious is it that you bear the name "Christian"?
PRAYER
Christ Jesus, I am grateful to bear the name Christian. Pardon me when I fail to reflect your grace to those I meet. I need to be reminded that others may glimpse you in the way I live. Named and claimed as your own, I want to let my light shine before others so your name is glorified. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
