How can one ever fully define all that our Lord, Jesus the Christ, is? God has bestowed upon His Son many, many names. There are a vast number of prophecies in the Old Testament that Jesus fulfilled…and was allocated the glorious Name associated with these prophecies. Below is a very small list of the names of our Lord as they pertain to us. I pray that as you read them and consider them, your heart will be lifted in praise..and thankfulness to Almighty God for all that He has provided for us in Jesus our Lord!
He is the Messiah
He first sought out and found his own brother Simon and said to him,
We have found (discovered) the Messiah!
—which translated is the Christ (the Anointed One).
John 1:41
He is our Master
And you must not be called masters (leaders),
for you have one Master (Leader), the Christ.
Matthew 23:10
He is our Savior
For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior,
Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord!

He is the Way, the Truth and the Life
Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
John 14:6
He is our Advocate
My little children, I write you these things so that you may not violate God’s law and sin.
But if anyone should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father
—Jesus Christ [the] righteous.

He is the Friend of Sinners
The Son of Man came eating and drinking [with others], and they say,

He who comes to Me will never be hungry, and he who believes in and cleaves to
and trusts in and relies on Me will never thirst any more (at any time).

and Preserver, in order to grant repentance to Israel and to bestow forgiveness
and release from sins.Acts 5:31

The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, Look! There is the Lamb of God,
Who takes away the sin of the world!
John 1:29
He is the Prince of Peace
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called…Prince of Peace.

He is the Author of Life
But you killed the very Source (the Author) of life, Whom God raised from the dead.
To this we are witnesses.

He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.
John 8:12
He is our Mediator
For there [is only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and men,
the Man Christ Jesus, Who gave Himself as a ransom for all…
1 Timothy 2:5, 6
He is Emmanuel
Behold, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a Son,
and they shall call His name Emmanuel
—which, when translated, means, God with us.
Matthew 1:23
He is the Head of the Body, the Church.
He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning,
the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything
and in every respect might occupy the chief place.
Colossians 1:18
He is the Resurrection
Jesus said to her, I am [Myself] the Resurrection and the Life.
Whoever believes in Me, although he may die, yet he shall live;
And whoever continues to live and believes in Me
shall never [actually] die at all. Do you believe this?

Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest
Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him].

He is the King of kings, and LORD of lords
And on His garment and on His thigh He has a name inscribed,
King of kings and Lord of lords.
Revelation 19:16
He is the AMEN
These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness,
the Origin and Beginning and Author of God’s creation:
Revelation 3:14
One final name that we all love to call our Jesus is—King. Please listen to Dr. S.M. Lockeridge as he exalts the name of our Lord Jesus as King…may your praises ring out as loudly as Dr. Lockeridge’s.
Praying for each of you!
