Sovereignly chosen names: a message

1 Chronicles 1-3

1:1 Adam, Seth, Enosh, 2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, 3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.

As I read these verses, I was reminded of something I heard several years ago from Chuck Missler. Taking the meaning of each Hebrew name, it reads:

"Man appointed mortal sorrow; the Blessed God shall come down teaching; His death shall bring (the) despairing comfort."

What a nice summary of the Gospel!

Heavenly Father, I praise you for the story of Jesus, who was slain from the foundation of the world.  Lord, you are so kind.  Thank you for salvation in Jesus Christ!  May my life be devoted to You, and may your will be done.  I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
