Biblical Reflections On The Names And Titles Of Jesus Christ

It is written that Jesus Christ is our Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). His name JESUS means one who saves His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). Jesus is Emmanuel, which is translated, God with us (Matthew 1:23). Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1). Jesus is the Christ (Mathew 16:16). Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Jesus is the Son of God (John 1:29). Jesus is the King of Israel (John 1:50). Jesus is the precious cornerstone (Isaiah 28:16). Jesus is the Man of Sorrows (Isaiah 53:3), Jesus is our High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens (Hebrews 8:1). Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1:8). Jesus is the bread of life (John 6:35). Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12). Jesus is the gate (John 10:9). Jesus is the good shepherd (John 10:11). Jesus is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). Jesus is the true vine (John 15:1). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Jesus is GOD (John 1:1).These reflections are about the names and titles of Jesus Christ. In searching the scriptures, I found out early on in my faith that our focus should be on the names of Jesus Christ. God the Father and God the Holy Spirit have given God the Son, Jesus Christ, ultimate authority, kingdom and dominion over all human beings and creation. For sometime now I've prayed to God to give me grace to write and reflect about the names of Jesus Christ. My passion began simply by reading the gospel and epistles of John. When I read Paul's letter to Ephesians, I noted intentional repetition of the name of Jesus Christ. I learnt a lot from Paul's writings and I'm trusting the Holy Spirit of God to give me knowledge, understanding and wisdom to write about the precious names of Jesus Christ. I also learnt a great deal from the writings and teachings of C.H. Spurgeon, John Piper, C.S. Lewis, John MacArthur, R. C. Sproul and several other writers that our focus should be the names and titles of Jesus Christ and the glory of God alone. As I write this book, I aim to use the bible as my main source and I simply bring into focus the names of Jesus Christ.

It is important for our children to know that no matter what happens in their lives that Jesus will be right there with them and that they can always call on him, to thank him, to say I love you, or to say I need you. For in this world they will know, no greater friend, love, or prayer, than the love and friendship of Jesus...! Once we set Jesus as the “cornerstone” in our children’s lives, we give them the foundation, to ultimately grow in their love, devotion, and relationship with Jesus. And, as parents we have begun, to work in God’s vineyard, and set our children’s hearts, minds, and souls on the path, to a relationship with Jesus Christ that will live with them not just in this life but in the next life too (for all eternity)!

JESUS: HIS NAME AND HIS TITLES. What's in a name? Everything, says Dr. Roddy Braun in this book which blends his unique training and experience from years as a professor of biblical languages and as a parish pastor into a powerful but practical study of the names and titles of Jesus. Included are Messianic king, Son of God, Son of Man, Servant of the Lord, and the Word of God and a separate chapter on the meaning of words and names in the Bible. The result is a study which describes Jesus, perhaps not as we think He should have been, but as Jesus and the New Testament writers saw him: as a man - but more than a man - whose nature and mission is best decribed by delving deeply into the Old Testament background of the One Who called himself simply "the son of man". Quotations from the creeds and hymns of the church make this book not just an intellectual exercise but a devotional experience as well.

Though the title mentions letters of the alphabet, this book is not a children's book. No! It is a book for everyone because we all can learn more about Jesus. Names of Jesus from A to Z was written to give readers a better understanding of God the Father and Jesus, His beloved son. In the Baltimore Catechism #1, the question "Why did God make me?" is answered with the response, "God made me to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in Heaven." It is our responsibility to know God. Scripture tells us in Peter 3:18, "But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Knowledge leads to love. Through Names of Jesus from A to Z we have a simple way to learn about God. The names and titles given to Jesus in Scripture provide a good description of God's love and mercy for mankind. Joseph G.
