When they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth, and her labor was difficult. During her difficult labor, the midwife said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have another son.”
With her last breath—for she was dying—she named him Ben-oni, but his father called him Benjamin. (Genesis 35:16-18)
Ben-oni means “son of my sorrow,” while Benjamin means “son of my right hand.”
Both terms can be applied to Jesus.
Isaiah said of Jesus,
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief… (Isaiah 53:3, ESV)
And yet, after the cross,
[God] raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. (Ephesians 1:20-21)
Son of sorrows. Son at the Father’s right hand.
Let us worship him!
