Jesus Is The Name Of The Word

Chapter two discusses what makes Jesus so different and what makes people uncomfortable making him the topic of conversation. McDowell happened to run across the actual meaning of the name Jesus Christ or as some may refer to “the deity of Christ.” The name Jesus was derived from the Greek name Jeshua or Joshua meaning “Jehoviah-Savior” or “the lord saves.” Christ is also from the Greek language meaning Messiah or Mashiach from the Hebrew language which stands for the anointed one.

Messiah/Christ: In the Christian religion, the Messiah was a savoir who would bring the “Last Judgment.” They believed that Jesus, or Christ meaning “God’s anointed” in Greek, was this savior.

Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity, the only way of salvation and the second person of the Trinity. (Funk & Wagnalls, 2015) The Gospels Matthew and Luke introduce the birth and childhood of God’s one and only Son, Jesus. His story began when the Angel Gabriel visited His virgin mother, announcing that she would give birth to a son, and that she was to call Him Jesus, for He would be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:30-35) The incarnation of the Messiah, was the Word

When we look at the various terms used to describe Jesus in the New Testament, we realize that most of the terms are foreign to the ordinary Akan. These terms stem from the communities where the gospel was proclaimed. For example “Jesus as son of man”, comes from the Palestinian community “Jesus as Messiah or Christ” Acts. 3:20; son of David (apoc.3:7; 5:5); in the Jewish-Hellenistic community which was composed of Greek speaking Jewish converts to Christianity used words likes kyrios. All these words are alien to the Akan. In this sense it is important to consider the language of the people of the Akan’s to see how best to make these words meaningful to them. Is there a way to find words which are synonymous to the attributes used to describe

those who name the name of Jesus have a clear understanding of God’s command and call to

1.In his pre-human existence he was called “God’s only begotten Son because Jehovah created him directly. As the “first-born of all creation, Jesus was used by God to create all other things. Jesus also had the personal name of Michael the archangel at this time.

When the fall of man occurred in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve partaking in the act of eating the forbidden fruit, the nature of humans changed forever (Chapter 4, Christian In the Beginning of Wisdom). Genesis 2 speaks of the environment changing, and also the characteristics of man and woman. Now men and women had their own hardships and roles to each other. Man was now made for physical hard work, and a woman’s body changed to allow hardships during childbirth. The woman was now under the headship of her husband, which was not so in the beginning (Chapter 4, The fall).

The titles of Jesus helped us as Christians understand Jesus character and why he came to redeem the world. It showed how much Jesus loved each one of us. It demonstrated what Jesus as the savior sacrificed to save us from sin. The word is the promise of God who wrote the Bible as a tool to help us every day as we face challenges.

Jesus—perhaps the most discoursed name in history. He has transformed and influenced many lives including mine. To some people, He was a prophet. To others He is a mere legend. To me, he is a father and a friend, but most of all, He is my Lord and Savior through justification, sanctification, and redemption.

Philippians 2:9-11 -- Prophecy fulfilled: Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of

Jesus is known as the Son of God, the Messiah or the savior of all. Who was the first person to see Jesus as the Messiah? Peter was the first who called him, “Christ, Son of the living God.” There are different versions to this story that can be found in the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. I am going to discuss the similarities and differences of how these books relate to each other.

Christ is His official title (Bere128). The name Christ shows Jesus as a prophet, priest, and a king. (Bere 128) He also called Himself the Son of God. This name indicates Jesus’ position in the trinity. It also emphasizes His deity. The Gospel of John clarifies that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. (Bere 129) Son of Man is another name given to Jesus. He used this name when He was talking about Himself. Because He was born to a man, He was fully a man. Luke uses this name for Jesus many time in his Gospel. The Son of Man emphasizes the humiliation Christ suffered while living on the earth, and ultimately dying. To show His position as the Master and King, another name of Jesus is LORD. This name depicts that Jesus should be given utmost respect and obedience. It is equal to the Old Testament name “God”. It means “Savior” or “Salvation”. (Bere 129) Other names given to Jesus were Emmanuel, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God, the Word, the Way, the Truth, the Life. All of these names reflect the power, sovereignty, and sacrifice of Jesus

But God restored us to himself through his love and mercy and saved us with his grace (v. 4-7).

The title "Christ" is used most often for Jesus in throughout Luke and Acts. “Christ” also served as foundation in constructing Jesus’s journey from earth to him being exalted [1, pg 14]. It refers to Jesus as the Anointed One of the Lord, the Messiah. The title was first used in Luke 2:11, and the strength of this title was clearly outlined in Luke 1:31-35, which described the role of Jesus as the Messiah. Stating that he was the royal figure promised

The first name or names I would like to discuss is “Jesus” and “Immanuel”. The reason I am counting both of them as one is because they seem to be interchangeable in the Bible. “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us)” (Mat. 1:21-23, ESV). As stated in the Scripture, Immanuel means “God with us.” Important to note, is that Jesus was the name given by God whereas Immanuel was the name by which man called Him.
