Greetings Dear Reader,
Instead of delving into the name by which we know the
Messiah I want to ponder for a moment the many titles that we ascribe to Jesus. Many years ago a dear friend, Allison,
created a beautiful piece of art that depicts the names that we give to
Jesus. She gave it to me as a gift at
the end of the semester and I still have it.
I look at it almost daily to remind me of the one I try to
follow. The total list of names and
titles for Jesus in the Bible is over 200. Below is a part of that list. I think I will let them speak for
themselves. They do for me.

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
