Living Up to Your Name Names are important. They are important to us and they are certainly important to God. Names mean something. Just notice a few examples from the Bi-ble. When Jacob had a dream of a ladder going up into heaven and he saw angels ascending and de-scending on that ladder he recognized the place where he was as “the house of God.” Therefore, “3he called the name of that place Beth-el. But the name of the city was Luz at the first” (Gen. 28:19). The name Bethel means “house of God.” Later Jacob would return to Bethel at the command of God and there “he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God ap-peared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother” (Gen. 35:7). This new name put em-phasis on the “God" of the “house of God.” Sometimes names were given to things Sam-uel “set up a stone between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hith-erto hath the LORD helped us” (I Sam. 7:12). Sometimes God even changed the names of people. He changed Abram’s name to Abraham and Jacob’s name was changed by God to Israel (Gen. 17:5; Gen. 32:28). Sometimes we talk about living up to our name. The names of people meant something and people named their children with the hope that they would live up to their name. We read in the New Testament of a man named Barabbas who was guilty of insur-rection and murder (Mk. 15:7). The name Barabbas means “son of the father.” It has been speculated that perhaps this mother had given her son that name hoping that he might be the Messiah, “the Son of the Father.” If so she must have surely been dis-appointed that he never even came close to living up to that name. However, there are many in the Bible who truly lived up to their name! In the book of Philemon we read of a man by the name of Onesimus. Philemon was a Christian and a fellow-laborer with Paul. He was apparently rich for he owned slaves. Onesimus was one of those slaves. Onesimus had run away from his mas-ter and made his way to Rome where he was taught by Paul and baptized into Christ. Paul then sent Onesimus back to his master Philemon with this let-ter. Now the name Philemon means “”profitable” but obviously a slave that has run away is not a profit for his master but a loss. So when Paul sends him back he tells Philemon in this letter, “I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds: 11 Which in time past was to thee unprof-itable, but now profitable to thee and to me” (Philemon 1:10, 11). Now that Onesimus re-turns to his master, not merely as a slave but a Christian brother he is truly profitable. Onesimus was living up to his name. -to be continued
