Join us this Advent to explore the names of Jesus and draw closer to Him each day.

What’s in a name? For many of us, the answer is a lot!

Names are part of our identity. Many parents choose their children’s names with great care, to be a blessing or to reflect a hope for the future.

In Biblical times, names were often seen as a key part of people’s relationship with God. We see this in how He renames Abraham, Jacob and Simon Peter as a sign of His promises.

Jesus’ names are a fundamental part of our relationship with Him too. And this is the theme of our Advent devotionals this year.

Many of us have turned to Jesus as our Rock in times of trouble. Knowing He is your Mighty God may have brought you strength. Perhaps you’ve been inspired by our Creator, or found hope in the Light of the World.

If you’re looking to be encouraged or inspired by these names and more this Advent, these devotionals are for you.

From 1 December until Christmas day, you’ll get a daily reflection written by some of us here at The Leprosy Mission. They’re a wonderful way to spend a few minutes with God each morning and deepen your faith.

Together, let’s be encouraged by the amazing names of our God. And let’s draw closer to the One whose name is above all names.
