The Good News and The End

"And as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives the disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what is the sign of thy coming and the completion of the age?
And Jesus answering said to them, See that no one mislead you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall mislead many.
But ye will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that ye be not disturbed; for all these things must take place, but it is not yet the end.
For nation shall rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places.
But all these are the beginning of throes.
Then shall they deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you; and ye will be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.
And then will many be offended, and will deliver one another up, and hate one another;
and many false prophets shall arise and shall mislead many;
and because lawlessness shall prevail, the love of the most shall grow cold;
but he that has endured to the end shall be saved.
And these glad tidings of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole habitable earth, for a witness to all the nations, and then shall come the end." (Matthew 24:3-14)

That was the post on X/Twitter.

It came to me pretty quickly how to reply.

X Post: "Name 1 Thing Your Dad Taught You."
Me: "Yes.....he taught me my name." :)

Then I realized how a name is actually a profound "thing".

It means 1) I'm alive, 2) I'm related to others - thankfully, they have names too, 3) I can give my name to a wife, children, and grandchildren, 4) I share something with my mother, and much more.

So...you've been reminded...your dad gave you, and then taught you, your name.
