My dear friend Ellie Holcomb is about to embark on a few weeks touring with the wonderful Neighbors. So some of us in the women's bible study decided to make Ellie some cards to encourage her on the road.
I wrote a relatively normal note on one of my cards.
On the other, I drew what was supposed to be a Christmas tree. Underneath it, I was going to write a verse. I was envisioning the one that lists out what the Messiah will be: "And he shall be called..."
"Hey Britt," I said to my gorgeous, godly, Scripturally-knowledgable friend Brittany Cooper, who was busy making her own card, "what's that verse about Jesus?"
"You know, like Wonderful Counselour, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords...." I rambled.
"I don't know exactly," she sweetly replied. "I think it's in Isaiah."
"Yeah it is," I said, distracted drawing some holly trim.
A few minutes later, Britt and I handed our cards to our dear friend Maeven to deliver. Looking at my pathetic little card, they started laughing.
Turns out, too lazy to actually go find a Bible, I had simply written, "And he shall be called... Jesus."
Of course, Brittany knew the verse (and an accompanying song, actually) but thought I was just asking for the reference. I let it stand.
I mean, he was called Jesus, right?
