In John 10, Jesus says that he is the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep, and that "he calls his own sheep by name..." Yes, Jesus is the redemptive substitute for the church as a people and a "flock" (plural). However, he is also the redemptive substitute for sheep as individuals. He didn't just die for a group (which he did), he died for me. He suffered for McKay... once condemned, now set free.  In the heart of God, I am not just a number, I am a name. It is a powerfully affective thing when someone calls me by name. Not just dude, or chief or man, but McKay. They known me. How much more powerful a thing it is to have Jesus call me by name, and with the deepest of affection. What if you could heard the audible voice of Jesus saying, "I love you, [your name here]. My scars prove this. You are forgiven. You are in the family. You are now the righteousness of God. So please believe that I love you, ___________. I really, really do."
