In our Bible Study we are learning from the 6th chapter of Luke. In verses 12-13 we find Jesus calling and naming His disciples/apostles by name. He knew that Peter would deny Him and that Judas would betray Him. He knew Nathaniel would be skeptical.
He called Zacchaeus down from the tree, He called Martha away from her distractions. He called Matthew away from the tax collectors and He called Lazarus out of the grave.
Is Jesus calling your name? Is He prompting you to do something? Is He calling you away from distractions or things that may hinder your relationship with Him. Is He drawing you to Himself for emotional and spiritual rest, or is He calling you out of complacency. He may even be giving encouragement for something we are about to go through. No matter what the scenario is we can take comfort knowing that Jesus knows our name and we belong to Him!
*Isaiah 43:1But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel:“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. (emphasis mine.
