Sorry about the missing updates. We have started the Advent season and the worship time has been so family oriented. It is a truly different experience. Lots of busy people in Origins. I hope we can slow down and enjoy the celebration of God reaching into humanity in the flesh and changing the world forever. As we contemplated Jesus in our lives, changing us individually forever, each one of us added a leaf the the Jesse Tree that included our favorite "name" for Jesus.
Many of Jesus' monikers are listed in the previous post. Many more are orchestrated through the Scriptures. Here are a few:
- Alpha and Omega (Rev. 1:8; 22:13)
- Author of Life (Acts 3:15)
- Bridegroom (Mt. 9:15)
- Creator (John 1:3)
- Gate (John 10:9)
- Great High Priest (Heb. 4:14)
- Hope of Glory (Col. 1:27)
- I Am (John 8:58) also see previous post
- Immanuel (Mt. 1:23)
- King of kings (1 Tim 6:15; Rev. 19:16)
- Lamb of God (John 1:29)
- Living Stone (1 Pet. 2:4)
- Lord of lords (Rev. 19:16)
- Mediator of the New Covenant (Heb. 9:15)
- Our Righteousness (1 Cor. 1:30)

- Savior (Eph. 5:23; Titus 1:4; 3:6; 2 Pet. 2:20)
