Luke 1:61 “But they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Jewish families name children after relatives for several reasons. For one, tradition, everything is about tradition. Also, it is a custom many in the ancient world observed. Finally, it was done in honor of that relative. In connection with that thought, they hoped the child would receive the same blessings as the honored relative.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing blessings. How can we ever pay You back? Though we cannot, You have given us the ability to love You. You are worthy of all the praise! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
