Today seems to be focused on naming. The Psalm calls God by the name he has called himself throughout Zechariah, "Lord of Heaven's Armies," a response that seems to indicate that Israel has finally embraced it. Jesus touches twice on the particulars of marriage, a time when new identities are taken by both parties. "Husband." "Wife." And in many cultures, a name is also changed. But we wear the name of Christ as well. As the church we, are his bride, and we take a new identity in that family.
