“The importance of biblical names is nowhere more certain than when we’re speaking of Jesus Christ. He is the great, towering figure of the Bible, whose light shines through all its books, those in both the Old Testament and the New. He is the One who stands at the heart of the Scriptures, beckoning us to know him; and knowing him, to love him; and loving him, to follow him—to allow him to make his life our own.” - Paul Thigpen
