THE NAMES OF JESUS

-



BYZANTINISCHER MALER UM 1020:

BYZANTINE COPY OF GOSPEL OF LUKE. 
LUKE 1:31 SAYS:

"... bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."







I recall my Sunday School teacher telling
us stories about Jesus. Our minister gave
sermons about the miracles performed by
Jesus Christ. The scripture about the birth
of Mary's baby in Matthew 1 states that
he will be called, Emmanuel. 

I went to a Bible study and the subject was
the names of Jesus.I was blown away when 
the Bible teacher said we were going to hear
35 names for Jesus in the New Testament. I
found another source that said if you add the
names and titles for Jesus, the total is close 
to 200!This brings new meaning to the phrase, 
" power in the name of Jesus".There is a Bible 
verse which says:

Philippians 2:10 

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth,
and of those under the earth, 


Many people in the New Testament used different names and tiles for Jesus depending on the miracle
or circumstance they were experiencing at that time.  All of the names denote divinity to me and I bought 
an embroidered scroll from the Holy Land which has all of the names for Jehovah. By, the way, this bring the total to 206 names/titles for Jesus!

 Today, I am sharing 40 of the names/titles given
for Jesus. Several web sites have the names; but, "about.com" had them in the alphabetical order.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
