Day 5: You Are Known and Loved Individually
On the most significant day in human history, Jesus was personally mindful of individuals. He knew their names, their stories, and their deepest needs. This reveals a God who is not distant but intimately acquainted with each one of us. You are not a face in the crowd to Him; you are known, you are loved, and you are called. [33:33]
But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1 ESV)
Reflection: What is one situation in your life right now where you need to be reminded that Jesus knows you by name and has a specific purpose for you?
