QJA What is Your Name?
Mark 5:1-20
to open
I’m terrible with names.
I have a rule..i say hello my name is Brian and you say…hello and walk away.
No you repeat...
I’d like to make a reservation please.
Maitre d’ asks your name?
Hmmmm, Name, what name should i use?
Loderhose?
Spell it?
How about Smith, or be funny and say Barak Obama?
What happens when Jesus asks your name?
Knowing someone’s name is the beginning of relationship.
Names are more than labels.
We embody our name.
We identify with our name.
Shakespeare's Juliet asked, “what’s in a name?” “that which we call a rose by any other word would still smell as sweet.”
She wouldn’t try to change the name if her name was rose!
There have been many variations of Loderhose over the years.
When spelling it for someone i take extra care to pause at a particular place.
L…o…d…e…r…h…o......s…e.
Invariably a u”u” appears.
They can’t stop themselves.
Nick and Abby were tight lipped about baby names.
Nick didn’t want to pick a name until he had seen the baby.
I love this about baby names.
Early on, it may not make sense.
But in teen years, or when their personality begins to shine forth, it almost appears their name makes them, as if a name had anything to do with their personality.
I do believe telling a child often enough they are bad, rotten or mean makes them want to embody those characteristics.
Our daughter Erin.
Her middle name is Nicole.
She could go by Nicole, Nicky, or a variation.
But Erin fits and Nicky doesn’t.
Heavy Weight Champion George Foreman named all his boys George.
Not all nicknames fit.
Sally’s from Dallas and her maiden name is Spencer.
I’ve tried a variation of nicknames from both of them and neither really work for her.
We’ve all heard the rhyme, sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.
But we know they do.
Names as labels hurt.
Have a big nose, glasses, crooked smile, cleft pallet, or you’re small for your age, they all get nick names.
What does your name mean?
Is it true or did someone make it up to give you a boost?
Oh your name is Sarah, that means sunshine in the Bible.
No it doesn’t it means Princess.
Sarai, means quarrelsome.
That’s why God changed Sarai to Sarah, he was tired of arguing with her...
How about when your name is forgotten!
Hey Jim, this is my close friend....silence.
Makes you feel small and insignificant.
The scripture tells us God calls each of us by name.
I am reminded of this every Easter when we read the story of the tomb.
“Mary.”
The fact that God calls each of us by name tells me He is a personal God.
He wants to build a relationship.
He recognizes us.
At the wedding, one of Matt’s friends came up and introduced himself.
Hi, i’m Tim.
You are ?
I’m Brian Loderhose.
Oh, shew, you looked really famous.
Are you sure you aren’t?
Infamous, yes.
Famous.
No.
Jesus calls us by our name.
The name we are comfortable with, the name we know, the name He knows.
Not our nickname, not our label, but our identifier.
Our name.
Luke 16:19-31
Who is in this story?
What are the characters names?
Aren’t rich men know quite well?
Aren’t the poor the ones forgotten?
Rich peoples names are like magic.
They open doors, and create relationships between people when they aren’t even present.
Name dropping is a thing.
In our story, I bet the rich man doesn’t know Lazarus name.
Isn’t it like Jesus to flip the script.
Lazarus means God helps.
Back to our opening story:
Who is this man?
Behavioral disorders, multiple personalities, serious mental illness?
He is suffering.
He lives in a graveyard.
He is ostracized by everyone.
He hurts himself, cuts himself, breaks chains and shackles.
He is a beast.
But when he sees Jesus…he runs to Him, bows down, before Him.
Jesus asks him what?
What is your name?
Asking someone their name is the beginning of what?
This is not a small matter.
Do you think Jesus doesn;t know what is happening?
Who this is?
Where he comes from?
On the contrary.
Jesus is going to make him new, re introduce him to society and is going to address him properly.
When do you think anyone cared enough about this man to ask his name?
