God the Father has one Son. He is the only Son of the Father. There is none who equals the Only Begotten Son. No one has the relationship with God the Father like the Only Begotten Son. The Only Begotten Son is God the Father's one and only Son. He has a divine origin. 
Through the Only Begotten Son, we are invited to become children of God. The Only Begotten Son is the way, the truth and the life. He is the way to the heart of God the Father.

names of Jesus: Nazarene

 names of Jesus: Nazarene by ric gustafson


Some people were not impressed about Nazareth. In John 1, can anything good come out of Nazareth?. People doubted the quality of anyone coming from there. According to Matthew 2, he shall be called a Nazarene. 
Have you felt belittled by a title or identity?. It doesn't matter what name you are called. What matters is your character. Walk in the way of the Nazarene. The Nazarene calls you beloved and chosen.
So who is the Nazarene?. It is Jesus Christ whom I love.

 7/16/1999 page 4 by ric gustafson


John F Kennedy Jr and Carolyn needed time alone from each other. He checked into the Stanhope Hotel. He checked into Room 1511. Carolyn told John to get a hotel room and work on the fate of the magazine George. John felt very comfortable at the hotel. His mother Jacqueline had lived down the street in an apartment building. He was used to room service there. His normal meal was a turkey club sandwich and mineral water.
A short time later, there was a knock at the door. It was a friend of his. Her name was Julie Baker. They dated for a while. Now, she was one of John's closest friends.
The next day by 10:30 am, John had his cast removed from his foot. He was now wearing a blue bandage. He still needed crutches to get into his Lincoln Town Car. He ate lunch at San Domencio. John often dined there. The restaurant was in Central Park South. Wearing dark glasses, he sat at his usual table. He ate spaghetti and grilled sea bass. 
J F K Jr thought about his mother Jackie. She had a premonition that he would die piloting his own plane. He worked out in the afternoon at La Palestra. He was asleep by 2:00 am.

Charlene Moton held the strange envelope in her hand.
" Open it" her friend Martha Clarke said with wide eyes. " Before I have to get to my next class".
Charlene opened the envelope and took out a sheet of paper. At the top was an insignia.
" The Titanic" her friend gushed. " You're going back home on the Titanic".
Charlene blushed. " I'm speechless".
" I envy you". Martha twirled her red hair. " I heard first class passage is very expensive".
" My father does own his own construction company".
" I need to get to class". She smiled. " What else is in the envelope?".
" My itinerary and my ticket".
" I envy you". She gave Charlene a hug. " Are you going alone?".
" No, my brother is going with me".
