What's in a Name?

At the time of our son’s birth we obviously had to think of names, and looked at any family names that we might use. After a bit of head scratching and discussion we decided that none of the family names really suited us. Eventually we came up with the name Jason, of course, the film Jason and the Argonauts was around at the time and, yes, for those asking, it was in colour! However, we didn’t choose his name because of the film, but rather we wanted something a little bit different. Mind you, nowadays some names are REALLY different.

One day a little while later, the Minister of the church we attended said of our son’s name, “Ah, yes Jason, a good New Testament name, one of those who “turned the world upside-down”. So I went home and checked it out and in Acts 17:1-9 we read about Jason. In my Bible commentary it talks of Jason being a local host and sponsor of Paul and Silas. He took the heat for all the problems that were caused by the jealousy of the Jewish leaders toward Paul and his preaching. Jason and some of the ‘brothers’ were dragged before the city officials and accused of being those who have “turned the world upside-down! (KJV).

Just a thought; as Christians shouldn’t we be the people to see things God’s way, to turn the other cheek, to love our enemies, to give and not to count the cost and to have servant hearts? If we live to follow Christ, then our thinking, our actions, our very lives should actually be non-conforming to the world’s standards. Romans 12:2 tells believers not to conform to the pattern of the world, but to be transformed by a renewed mind, to know God’s good and perfect Will.

So let’s be world changers and it can start with you and me!
