The Names Of Jesus

"What's in a name?" someone has asked. Well,
depending on the subject matter, there can be a
little or a lot. Some parents assign particular
names to their children because of the traditional
meaning of those names.
In the case of our Lord Jesus, his many names or
titles each carries special meaning to those who
are His. There are times in each of our lives when
a particular name of our Saviour can be comforting
and strengthening and/or reassuring.
Some of those names are: Prince of Peace; Counselor;
Light of the World; The Bread of Life; the Messiah;
A Friend Who Sticks Closer Than a Brother; King;
Kinsman-Redeemer; Master; Rabbi; and Teacher.
Do any of these have special value or meaning to you?
Has there been a time in your life when thinking
about one of His names and its speaking of His
character or personality or ministry has been of
great help or value to you at that juncture?
There are many more names and titles of our
Lord Jesus, such as: The Christ; The Promised One;
The Rock (of our Salvation); The Good Shepherd;
Son of Man; Son of God; Healer; Baptiser; Bright
Morning Star; Seed of David; Emmanuel; Christ
the Lord.
WHEW! When we think about it, He is really our
"all in all" as the hymn writer penned! What or
"who" is Jesus to you? What is He right now in
your present circumstance? What do you need
Him to be? HE IS! HE WILL BE!
Finally, and this is not a comprehensive listing,
here are some more of His names that hopefully
have blessed you, or will in the days to come before
His return: Lord of the Sabbath; Bridegroom;
Deliverer; The Word; the Lamb of God; Second
Person of the Trinity; the "I AM"; Alpha and Omega;
The True Shepherd; The Way, The Truth, and
The Life; and last but surely not least - Our Soon-
Returning/Coming King!!
REREAD SLOWLY AND BE BLESSED! No doubt
you can add other of our Saviour's names and titles to
the list, but my intention is to get you started in
thinking what all He is to you!
LOVE HIM! PRAISE HIM! WORSHIP HIM!
SERVE HIM! After all He's done for you, how can
you do less than give Him your all, and live in
His presence and knowledge daily!!
Yours and His for eternity, Bill
