NAMES & TITLES OF CHRIST

This entry was posted on 12-13-2007 and is filed under uncategorized.

Some scholars say there are as many as 700 names and titles of Christ contained in Scripture. In my "Celebrating 33 Enduring Qualities of Jesus of Nazareth" I list 200 of these names and titles. Today we will start looking at just a few of them, starting with the letter "A." Don't hurry through this list but do "check it twice."

Of course, Christ is our Advocate (1 John 2:1), the Alpha (Rev 22:13), and the Ancient of Days (Dan 7:9). He is the Beloved Son (Mark 1:11), Branch of Righteousness (Jer 33:15), and Bright Morning Star (Rev 22:16). He is the Chief Cornerstone (Mark 12:10), Commander (Isa 55:4), and Consolation of Israel (Luke 2:25). He is the Daystar (2 Pet 1:9), Deliverance of Zion (Joel 2:32), and Desire of all nations (Hag 2:7). And He is Emmanuel [God with us] (Isa 7:14), Ensign of the people (Isa. 11:10), and the Everlasting Father (Isa 9:6).

You and I have just a few names, nicknames, or titles. Not so our Lord Jesus! Perhaps that's why Charles Lamb declared, "If Shakespeare should come into this room, we would all rise; but if Jesus Christ should come in, we would all kneel." Truly, the names of the Christ are above all other names! Tomorrow we shall look at a few more.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for sending the best gift anyone could ever receive - Your Only Begotten Son! May we never take His name(s) in vain or put Him to shame.
