Names are important, as they have been throughout every age and culture. In Biblical times, a name took on a significant meaning as part of a person’s character, family, or history.   There are more than 100 names and titles for Jesus Christ throughout the Old and New Testaments, more than […]
Wonderful Counselor. Another word for counselor is advocate, and that is just what Jesus is. He is for you. He will fight for you. He wants you to succeed and have a fulfilling life. And He is our intercessor. He prays on our behalf to our Heavenly Father: Jesus said, […]
The Mighty God. The prophet Isaiah spoke of the coming Savior child to be born of a virgin, and said that he will be named Mighty God. (Isaiah 9:6) Isaiah is referring to two prophesies of different times – a child and a king.  We celebrate the birth of the […]
In a time where everything is instant and temporary, the thought of everlasting is almost forgotten. But it is still there, in eternity.  Isaiah 9:6 names Jesus as the Everlasting Father. This is an eternal father (protector, provider, creator) who has no end. Many earthly fathers may have failed to provide […]
Then Jesus arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39) With one word, Jesus commanded peace over nature. Only the Prince of Peace could do that. And only Jesus can create peace in our hearts. […]
There is so much beauty and majesty this time of year – from the colorful leaves to the pristine, white snow. It seems appropriate that the Savior of the world would be called the “Firstborn over all Creation”. Jesus did not first arrive as a baby in a manger. Jesus […]
The Apostle Paul describes Jesus as the unspeakable or indescribable gift in one of his letters: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” 2 Corinthians 9:15 It is indescribable because there is no other gift as perfect or as valuable as the sacrifice of God’s perfect son for our […]
“Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”  (John 1:29) What a bold statement! John the Baptist made this statement when he saw Jesus coming toward him. The word “Behold” in Biblical times was a strong word meaning “Wow, Look, don’t miss this!” And it […]
The Good Shepherd is one of my favorite names of Jesus. One who will take care of you. One who is good! We all need a little more good in this world, and that is what Jesus brings. It is one of the few names that Jesus gives to himself, […]
In the book of Revelation, Jesus reveals himself to the Apostle John as the “Bright Morning Star”. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star.” (Revelation 22:16) Jesus is not […]
Christ is a title, and it means Anointed or Chosen One. The word Christ is the Greek (or New Testament) equivalent of the Hebrew (Old Testament) word for Messiah. The name Jesus is the human name given to Mary by the angel Gabriel (Luke 1:31). The full name of Jesus Christ […]
Immanuel means “God with us”.  It is one of the most comforting names for Jesus. During those times when we’re in despair and cry out to God, we want to know God is with us. To know He has not abandoned us in our most desperate need. When we are scared; […]
The Holy One of Israel is the main title for God used by the prophet Isaiah. It is mentioned 25 times in book of Isaiah, but rarely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. However, the concept of God’s Holiness is mentioned throughout the Bible. This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the […]
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” – Jesus  (John 8:12) “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it […]
Dayspring is an old word that means “dawn” or “morning”. It is not used in our language today, but you may be familiar with the Christian greeting card company that is named after it. The word is only mentioned twice in the Bible, once in the beginning and once near […]

More coming soon…
