Subject: Why LJC instead of just Jesus? |
Bible Note: Peace ALL, The name of GOD is very HOLY to the Hebrew and G_d is usually written in a incomplete manner. The L_rd is a very important and AWESOME name to them. This is done respectfully to who HE is and who they are. The Master and the clay, etc. In the O.T.: El Shaddai, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Nissi, and the other names stated throughout are in reference to who G_d was/is/will be. Each reference of HIS name can be seen as a character of who HE is and the attribute HE personified to the individual(s). As you read of HIS names maybe you too can think of when HE was Jehovah Shalom...the Lord of Peace during a time you needed peace. Or when HE was your Banner when you needed a forerunner. HIS name is most remarkable when you make it personal to yourself. Did you notice that when the Christ child was to be born we were told HE would be "called" Emmanuelle? "God with Us". Yet HIS name is "Jesus" - Joshua(Jeshua) which means Jehovah-saved. With Emmanuelle can we assume that it wasnt HIS name but HIS character we were being taught? If so, then can Jesus be the fulfillment of all the names of G_d in the OT and the attributes of HIS name? Be a Berean: Acts 17:11 ... Lord dont let me convolute the story ... *SHALOM* |
