Man Changes Name to Jesus Christ
A New York city judge allowed José Luis Espinal to legally change his name to Jesus Christ. Following the decision, Espinal said he was "happy" and "grateful" that the judge approved the change. He also said that he was moved to seek the name change about a year prior to the decision, when it dawned on him that, "I am the person that is that name."
We're all a little like José—we're just more subtle. We grab at the title of "Lord" every time we reclaim the management of our lives.
