Are you feeling the rush of the season, eager to focus your heart as Christmas approaches? Advent is the perfect time to prepare for the celebration of Christ’s birth by deepening our understanding of who Jesus is. This devotional series will guide you through the names of Jesus found in Scripture, each one revealing a unique aspect of his identity and character.
Over the next 25 days, you’ll explore powerful names like Immanuel (God with us), Prince of Peace, and Bread of Life. We start with Isaiah’s prophecies about Jesus, then look at Jesus’s own “I am . . .” statements in the gospel of John, then we move into the grand vision of Jesus found in Revelation. Finally, in the week leading up to Christmas we look at the “son of . . .” titles given to Jesus.
Each name will invite you to reflect on how Jesus meets your deepest needs—whether you’re longing for peace in chaos, light in the darkness, or hope in a weary world. These devotions are designed to be a time of reflection and renewal, preparing your heart to fully experience the wonder of Christmas.
As we reflect on the names of Jesus, we aren’t just learning facts—we’re encountering the living Christ who came to transform our lives. So, join us as we rediscover who Jesus is and what his coming means for us today. Together, let’s make space in our hearts for the One whose name is above all names.
