Names and Titles of Jesus

As we continue with Advent, I am sharing Names and Titles of Jesus with Bible scripture verses to read and contemplate. This is not an exhaustive list as the are many names of Jesus throughout the Bible.

In the Scriptures, someone’s name had great significance. It wasn’t simply how you identified someone but it was intended to reflect that person’s character and tell something about the person.

The names given to Jesus were significant giving us a picture of what He was like, helping us see him more clearly and know him better.
