"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up" Deuteronomy 6:5-7 (NIV).

Bible Lessons For Children

His Name Shall Be Called. . .

Class Introduction

Ask children to name the different ways we describe people we know. (Distribute index
cards and pencils to children.) Have them write their names on the cards and describe
themselves by completing the following sentence, "I am," and then writing the
description on their card. (You might prompt them by giving an example, "I am kind. I
am a good listener. I am an artist." etc.)

(Say:) Have you ever wondered how we got our last names or what they mean? For
example, the last name, "Miller," originally described a person's job. A miller owned or
worked in a grain mill grinding corn, wheat, or some other type of grain. And the name
"Smith" described a metalworker. The name "North," was a description of where a
person lived, he lived "north" of a certain town. "Brown" described someone with brown
hair or skin. People would refer to others by saying, John the miller or Mike the smith or
Rebecca from the north or Jim with brown skin, is coming here or doing such and such.
Eventually these titles were dropped and they became known as John Miller, Mike
Smith, Rebecca North and Jim Brown.
