Show Notes

The Old Testament sets the stage for Jesus by presenting Him through prophetic titles and metaphors that deepen our understanding of His mission. Titles like Shiloh in Genesis 49:10 reveal Jesus as the one who brings peace and rest, fulfilling the promises of the Messiah. Similarly, the Man with the Measuring Line in Zechariah symbolizes Jesus as the restorer of God’s people, expanding the spiritual boundaries of His kingdom. The imagery of the Refiner’s Fire and Fuller’s Soap in Malachi illustrates His purifying work, transforming believers into a holy people prepared to dwell in God’s presence.

 

The New Testament reveals Jesus more explicitly through a wide array of names and titles, each highlighting different aspects of His character and mission. As the Lamb of God, He is the ultimate sacrifice for sin; as the Bread of Life, He sustains and nourishes His people. Titles like Alpha and Omega, the Good Shepherd, and the King of Kings emphasize His divinity, His care for humanity, and His eternal authority. Through His names, the New Testament portrays Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament promises and the central figure of God’s redemptive plan.

 

Each name and title of Jesus invites us into a deeper relationship with Him. They remind us that He is not just a historical figure but our Savior, King, and Friend. By exploring these names, we gain a fuller understanding of who Jesus is and what He means for our lives today. As we study Scripture, we are encouraged to ask, “What does this teach me about Jesus?” allowing His names to transform not just our knowledge but our hearts.
