Good evening, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ.

Today, we come together in

celebration of the naming of this precious child, and we find profound wisdom
and inspiration in the example of Jesus Christ.
In Luke 1:31, the angel Gabriel declares to Mary, "You will conceive in your womb
and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus." Jesus, a name that means "God
saves," was not merely a label; it carried within it a divine purpose. From the
moment of his naming, Jesus's life was destined to embody the very essence of
salvation and redemption for all humankind.
As we reflect on the significance of naming a child, let us consider the power that
a name holds. Just as Jesus's name carried a weight of purpose and destiny, so too
does the name chosen for this child. It is a declaration of identity and a calling
forth of the unique gifts and talents that they bring into this world.
In Matthew 1:21, the angel explains to Joseph, "She will bear a son, and you shall
call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Jesus's name was
not given lightly; it was given with the understanding of the great mission that lay
ahead. Likewise, the name chosen for this child is a testament to the hopes and
dreams that their parents hold for them, as well as the divine purpose that God
has ordained for their life.
As we witness the naming of this child today, let us remember the words of
Philippians 2:9-11: "Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him
the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Just as the name
of Jesus is exalted above all others, so too is the name of this child cherished and
revered within their family and community.
As we welcome this child into our midst and bestow upon them their name, let us
commit ourselves to nurturing and supporting them as they grow and flourish.
May they, like Jesus, walk in the footsteps of love, compassion, and
righteousness, fulfilling the purpose for which they were uniquely created.
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of this child and for the
purpose and destiny that you have ordained for their life. May they grow in
wisdom and stature, and may their name be a beacon of hope and inspiration to
all who know them. Bless their parents with wisdom and strength as they raise
this child in your ways. In Jesus's name, we pray. Amen.
Thank you, and may God's blessings be upon this child and their family always
I hope this aligns more closely with what you were looking for.
