Jesus me chama pelo nome: identidade e propósito em Cristo

[Keren]

Hello guys

One of the most beautiful truths of our faith is that Jesus doesn’t just call us in general, He calls us personally. He knows our name. He sees our heart. He speaks directly to our lives. Isn’t that amazing?

In John 10:3, Jesus says, “He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”

That means our relationship with Him isn’t distant or vague; it’s actually intimate and personal. When we hear His voice, it reminds us that we are not forgotten, not overlooked, and not defined by the labels the world puts on us. We have our own identity in Him.

When Jesus calls us by name, He also gives us a purpose. We are no longer wandering in darkness, but walking in the light of His love, guided step by step. This identity in Christ shapes how we live, how we see ourselves, and how we treat others.

A little personal reflection:

Have you ever experienced a moment when you felt Jesus was calling you personally? How does knowing that Jesus knows your name impact the way you see your identity?

There is this song by JesusBYS on Spotify that particularly touched me. In darkness, we should listen to Jesus’ voice calling out our name. I really recommend it; it’s a beautiful reminder of everything I have said today. Jesus calls me by my name

Jesus realmente nos conhece pelo nome. Acho que o que as pessoas tendem a esquecer é que ser cristão significa ter uma relação com Ele. É uma honra ser conhecido por Ele, honestamente.

Por isso, sempre aconselho a escolher bem o nome dos nossos filhos. Acho que isso tem um impacto real na identidade deles, um pouco como Jesus nos chama pelo nome e nos dá um propósito único na vida.

Eu vivi momentos em que realmente senti Jesus me chamar pelo meu nome — isso me dá tanta paz e sentido. Que todos nós continuemos a ouvir Sua voz e a caminhar na luz do Seu amor.
