Resurrection Faith

What’s in a name? The New Testament Book of Philemon tells the story of a slave named Onesimus, meaning “profitable.” Onesimus, however, was not very profitable to his master, Philemon. He had stolen from Philemon and run away.
But Onesimus learned about Jesus Christ whose name means “Yahweh is Salvation.” Onesimus trusted in Jesus to forgive his sins through His death and resurrection.
One meaning of resurrection is to “bring back into use.” The Lord gave Onesimus a new life. His friend, the apostle Paul, willing to repay Onesimus’ debt, wrote to Philemon asking that he take Onesimus back as a brother rather than as a slave. By so doing, Philemon would live up to his name which means “affectionate.”
Having faith in Christ’s resurrection brings to one a new life and a new name, Christian, meaning “follower of Christ.”
Lord, thank You for giving me a new life and a new name.
