Key Verse: Verse 25 – “And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”
Key Words: and he called his name JESUS
The following was taken from Reader’s Digest, “Strange Stories.”
Theories of how our favorite Americanism came to be:
“The earliest known appearance of ‘OK’ in print, in a March 23, 1839, edition of Boston’s Morning Post, explains its meaning as ‘all correct,’ spelled ‘oll correct.’ But as the years past and the expression gained wide circulation, speculation grew about how OK came to be. Was it the abbreviation for Old Kinderhook, President Martin Van Buren’s nickname (he was from Kinderhook, New York)? Did it refer to Old Keokuk, an Indian chief who signed treaties with his initials? Or perhaps it came from the Finnish word oikea, which means ‘correct’?
“OK reached the West Indies by 1847, England a few years later, India by 1883, and the Philippines around 1908. American soldiers carried it to Japan and Korea in the mid-20th century. OK is now part of the language nearly everywhere, no matter how it is spelled: o.k., O.K., okay, okey, oke, or even okeh.”
Reminds me of the names of Jesus, whether it is Emmanuel, Messiah, Christ, or Jesus
