Names of Jesus

John is my favorite book of the Bible.

It (he) paints such a descriptive and beautiful picture of Jesus. He is the central figure of our Christian faith, the Object of our faith, and John did a wonderful job (through the Holy Spirit) of telling us who this Man is, and what He came to do.

In reading this first chapter of John, the varied names of Jesus are evident on it's pages;

The Word, the Light, God, the Only Begotten of the Father, the Only Begotten Son, the Christ, the Lord, Jesus, the Lamb of God, a Man, He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit, the Son of God, Rabbi, Teacher, the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth-the son of Joseph, the King of Israel, and the Son of Man.

Jesus is the great I Am. He is there for us [to be for us] whatever we need in the moment. There are many more names for Jesus, but suffice it to say that He knows what we need and He is capable of meeting that need in the fullness of who He is.

If you need healing, He is your Healer. If you are brokenhearted, He is the Mender of your broken heart. If you need strength, He is your Strength. (The joy of the Lord is our strength.) If you need a sound mind (peace of mind) He is your Peace. (You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.) Thank you Jesus that You are our All in all.
