What Shall We Call Him?: Jesus (the Lord Saves)

We all have our ways we like to think of God, don’t we? We all have our own preferred pictures of what we think God is like. We form those pictures from a lot of different places. From books and movies. From Sunday School Flannel Grams- do you remember those? From our parents, our friends, and our teachers.  We all have our ways we like to think of God, to picture God. Even people who say they don’t believe in God – if you get them talking about it, even they have a picture in their minds of what God would be like, if He in fact were to exist. Many people that you know who say they don't believe in God, they have a very clear picture in their minds of the God in whom they don't believe. It’s been said… "In the beginning God made man in his image and man has been trying to repay the favor ever since." We all do this, don’t we?  Individually and collectively, all of us paint a picture of a God that looks a whole lot more like US than anything we find in the pages of Scripture. Quite unintentionally, based on our sentimentality and our own speculation, we have created a god based much more on what we think and what we wish were true (or what we fear is true!) about God than on who God really is.  And this MATTERS a great deal. Because how we think about God has deep implications on how we think about ourselves and our world.  Luke 1:26-38  Isaiah 53
