Each species is given a group name (a \u201cGenus\u201d) followed by a specific name (a \u201cspecies\u201d), and both names are in Latin. Humans are classified in the Genus \u201cHomo\u201d and our species is \u201cHomo sapiens\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What about our names?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a baby is born, one of the first questions we ask is \u201cwhat is the name?\u201d. A name gives us identity. Over the centuries, humans have given meanings to names. My grandson\u2019s name is Nathan, which means \u2018a gift from God\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about biblical names? They can signify origin, purpose or a direction in life. God named the first human \u2018Adam\u2019 derived from the Hebrew word for \u2018ground\u2019 to remind us that Adam was created from the Earth\u2019s soil (Genesis 2:7). Adam then named his wife Eve, a name which commemorates Eve\u2019s role as the mother of all the living (Genesis 3:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is Jesus\u2019 true identity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus means \u2018saviour\u2019 or \u2018deliverer\u2019. In response to the Pharisees\u2019 question, \u201cWho do you think you are?\u201d, Jesus answered, \u201cbefore Abraham was born, I AM\u201d. The violent response from the Pharisees indicated they clearly understood what Jesus was declaring \u2013 that he was the eternal God incarnate. Jesus was equating himself with the \u201cI AM\u201d title God gave himself in Exodus 3:14.The name \u201cI AM\u201d (or, Yahweh, in Hebrew) was the name for the God of the Israelites and was so holy that no Jew would utter it. Yet Jesus shocked the Jewish leaders by calling himself \u201cI AM\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Significance of names in Christian worship<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fisherman called Simon, which means \u2018that hears or obeys\u2019, became one of the first people to hear Jesus\u2019 call and become his disciple. Jesus changes Simon\u2019s name to Peter, meaning \u2018rock\u2019. When Peter correctly identified Jesus as the Son of God, Jesus blessed Peter and announced that on that \u2018rock\u2019 he would build his church (Matthew 16:18).<br>Many hymns refer to the name of Jesus. For example, there are hymns called \u2018How sweet the name of Jesus sounds\u2019 and \u2018At the name of Jesus\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>If Jesus calls your name, will you hear and respond?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rosemary Claxton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contacts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not have a VIcar at the moment.
