Be a Servant that Brings Light

We have been thinking about names a lot lately. We have picked out a verse for BB Trinh already. It's a quote that Jesus said to the disciples.

"44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

I do interviews for my company and notice a very common objective from the younger generations. "Ultimate goal is to be a CEO of an international company." I giggle a bit when I see these objectives because these are new grads that have never even earned a paycheck in their lives. Since the modern world seems to be so competitive and everyone is striving to be the best, we think this is a very good verse to remind him to be "first" or "great" in God's eyes, his goal on earth is to serve others just like Jesus did.

So, we are trying to find names that have a meaning of "servant".

Lucas is definitely part of the name but not sure if it will be first or middle yet. Lucas means "light bringer" - to be a good witness and bring light into the darkness so people around him will be blessed with Salvation... (since his parents did such a crappy job..hee)

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
