5 Names of Jesus - Scripture

"The name of the Lord is a
strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe." (Proverbs
18:10)
As I read through the Bible, my favorite thing to do is look for
Jesus. Jesus said the whole Bible is talking about Him (Luke 24:27;
John 5:39; Hebrews 10:7). There are many different names of Him
throughout the Bible. Let’s take a look at five of the most common
names of Jesus and see what they teach us about who He is.1. Son of
Man
Jesus often called himself the “Son of Man.” This name reminds us that
Jesus was human, just like we are. He was able to fully understand us
and our suffering when he was born and took on human nature. But
inDaniel 7:13, we learn the "Son of Man" is far more than simply
human.2. Son of God
Many times, Christians call Jesus the Son of God. Others sometimes say
that Jesus never claimed to be anything other than a man. But the
words of Jesus disagree with that statement."I said, ‘I am the Son of
God’" (John 10:36). It’s clear that Jesus stated he was the Son of
God, and that’s where this name of Jesus comes from.3. Lamb of God
Jesus sacrificed His life for us on the cross. The name “Lamb of God”
identifies Jesus with the sacrifice He made for all of us. By calling
Him that, John the Baptist showed that every sacrifice was meant to
represent God’s final sacrifice. (John 1:29, Hebrews 10:10-14) From
the sacrifice made to cover the sins of Adam and Eve inGenesis 3:21to
the sacrifices that still took place on altars in John's time, they
all represented Jesus.4. Word
InJohn 1, Jesus is called “The Word.” When Jesus became a human and
gave His life for us on the cross, God spelled himself out in words we
can all understand. Jesus tells us more about God than words ever
could because He is God in the flesh. (John 1:1-3, 14, 18)5. Immanuel
Immanuel means "God with us." The Bible tells us that when Mary named
her first-born Son "Jesus," it was the fulfillment of Isaiah's
prediction inIsaiah 7:14that the virgin's son would be called
"Immanuel." (Matthew 1:18-25) "How does naming the baby 'Jesus' mean
calling Him, 'God with us?' The angel explained that they would give
Him the name Jesus"because He will save His people from their sins."
(Matthew 1:21)
The name "Jesus" means "Yahweh is Salvation." Jesus is the only name
by which we may be saved. (Acts 4:12) Do you know how to ask Jesus to
