The name Adam has a special meaning for Jews and Christians. It is not just any name, be it a first name or a surname. The name stands for the first human being who, according to the biblical account of creation, was created by God at the end of his creative work and the creation of the world. The name is derived from Hebrew, where Adamah means the earth. The name Adam thus expresses his origin: from this world, this earth. Origin and end. Created from earth and returning to earth at the end. This was not always the case. Actually, he should only have been created from the earth, but Adam's later reported disobedience led to him becoming earth again. At least his body. Knowing where you come from and where you are going. Origin and destination. This is important for our lives. It is meaningful or even defining. It provides support, motivation and focus. Do you know where you come from and where you are going?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
