Dec 2 – Called by a New Name – Isaiah 62:2

 Dec 2 – Called by a New Name – Isaiah 62:2

 

     Isaiah says that the chid of God will one day have a new name.  John saw the same thing in the book of Revelation.  To the overcomer they will give a new name that only they and the Lord knows.  Jacob was given a new name when he wrestled with the angel.  He was known before this encounter as Jacob which meant supplanter or cheat.  After the wrestling match he became Israel which means Prince with God.  After we are promoted to glory, we will receive our new name.  It will go along with the new home that we have in heaven.  This is something to look forward.  The hymn says there is a new name written down in glory and it is mine.  Claim it and live it.
