Christening is the ceremony of baptizing and naming a child. Most of the kings of Israel and Judah were christened with names of the Lord, but they did not come to faith by this. One must come by faith in Christ alone to get into heaven. Ahaziah did evil in the sight of the Lord, walking after both his parents. His mother was the wicked Queen Jezebel.
Mothers have great influ- ence on the moral characters of their children.
Likely Jezebel, even more than Ahab, taught her son the finer points of idolatry. Mothers today can teach their children idolatry by both their words and their attitudes. That is, they teach priorities where God is not number one. Consider your record in the eyes of the Lord. He did not turn aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord.
