A Good Name is Humble


Ecclesiastes 7:1, 8   
1 A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one's birth;   8 The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

The name given as Christ's exceeds any temporary balm in this life; to be His and not just named as 'adam, man, a sinful fallen being, this is good news!  Then to know that death offers better than our sinful birth into this world because it opens a new one forever before our God as in Eden again... This should lead to a patient spirit as the verse here says.  This is hope past any grasping for wind we come up with on our own.
