Igumen Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 There is a lot of importance bound up in a name. In some ways it is bestowed upon us: by our parents/relatives, by our ancestry (in our surname), and later by our friends and enemies later on in our lives. The first disciples of Our Lord Jesus had the name "Christian" -- little Christs --- given to them by outsiders. And yet it was still accepted by His followers, with humility, so that people today actively choose what was originally a derogatory term. In the Scriptures we can read how God even bestows names upon people: renaming Abram as Abraham, and Simon as Peter. All this carries a meaning, and blessed are we if God bestows a new name on us after baptism and unification with the Church! On here we must choose our own names, and it is a difficult business as we can fall into the pitfalls of pride and vanity. Better for us to accept the name that is given to us from our enemies and in it find some enlightenment about our true selves. Meanwhile we can pursue through prayer and asceticism greater communion with God so that in Paradise we can have revealed to us our true names, written on white stones (Rev 2:17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
