He has a name for me

After his resurrection Mary didn’t recognize Jesus until he called her by name. (Joh 20:16) There must have been something in the ring of his voice that resonated with her. Once she heard her name she had full recognition and the memories of their relationship came like a flood. When Jesus returns, he will give each of his followers a new name known only to the two of them. (Rev 2:17) I believe this is a term of endearment. A sign of the close, personal relationship they share. To his followers, Jesus is not just a historical figure, he is a friend with whom they enjoy daily fellowship. Can you hear him calling your name?
