“To Know Him” The Name and Titles of Jesus “Names”
Goals of this Study Understand what Names are & their function and use in scripture & thus understand the context of the Name and Titles of Jesus
Names today, perform two broad functions: • 1) A label • 2) An identity • Consider: • The base piece of “unique” data in our “people categorisation system” • The first thing we share when we meet • We hang everything we come to know about that person on their name • Their Name becomes their identity and reputation
Three Keys to Bible Names
Key ONE A BIBLE NAME is an IDENTITY (as well as a label) 1) Starts with your Birth 2) Your Character 3) Your Behaviour Together these make an Identity And define Your NAME And thus your Memory and Memorial
Typical Summary of the Kings/Chronicles: • A Name • Father and Mother • Did right/evil before the LORD • All the acts which he did • Died and Buried • Their Label and Identity
Key TWO Bible Names have a Thematic Rationale A Bible NAME Exists within a Context Which is Related to A ROLE/Purpose And conforms with the Bibles Typological Framework
Names have meanings: • Adam = Earth • Eve – Living • Noah = Rest • Abraham = Father of a Multitude • Isaac = Laughter • Israel = Prince with El • David = Beloved • Samuel = Heard of God • Mary = Bitter • Simon = Hearer • Paul = Little • etc
