Why Did You Name Him That? (1 of 4)
Series: What's in a Name?

Isaiah 9:6-7
Part One of the Series:
What's in a Name? The birth names of the Son of God
When a child is conceived and a pregnancy is confirmed, there are generally 3 questions immediately asked.

Have you selected a name?
In the case of the Lord Jesus, He was due ''in the fullness of time.'' As for His gender, He'd be the only begotten Son of God. As for His name, that's a little more involved.

Many of you will remember the classic story told by Johnny Cash about the ''Boy named Sue.'' In the 1969 country song, ''Sue'' spent a lifetime hating his father for giving him a feminine name. Then he discovered his father named him ''Sue'' so he'd have to ''get tough or die.'' In the end, Sue finally understood why his father had given him that name.
Today we ask God, the Father, why did you name Your Son that? 740 years before He was born?
1. His personal attributes
In the Hebrew language, ''to be called,'' means that the person spoken of will BE what he is CALLED. More than a surname or a proper name, the phrase indicates that these will descriptors.
