February 16 - The Many Names of Christ



The Many Names of Christ

No matter what we do or what we face, we find that the Names of Christ have the answer for every challenge for each of us.  As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  Let Him remind us of His all-sufficiency:

To the ARTIST He is the One Altogether Lovely

To the ARCHITECT He is the Chief Cornerstone

To the BAKER He is the Living Bread

To the BIOLOGIST He is the Life

To the BUILDER He is the Sure Foundation

To the CARPENTER He is the Door

To the DOCTOR He is the Great Physician

To the EDUCATOR He is the Great Teacher

To the ENGINEER He is the New and Living Way

To the FLORIST He is the Rose of Sharon and the Lilly of the Valley

To the GEOLOGIST He is the Rock of Ages

To the JUDGE He is the Righteous Judge, Judge of All Men

To the JEWELER He is the Pearl of Great Price

To the NEWSPAPER He is the Good Tiding of Great Joy

To the OPTOMETRIST He is the Light of the Eyes

To the PHILANTHROPIST He is the Unspeakable Gift

To the PHILOSOPHER He is the Wisdom of God

To the SCULPTOR He is the Living Stone

To the SERVANT He is the Good Master

To the STATESMAN He is the Desire of All Nations
To the STUDENT He is the Incarnate Truth

To the THEOLOGIAN He is the Author and Finisher of the Faith

To the TOILER He is the Giver of Rest

To the SINNER He is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the World

To the CHRISTIAN He is the Son of the Living God, the Savior, the Redeemer,
                                and the Lord

No matter who we are as a person, what we do as a profession, or what we’ve experienced in our past, He is sufficient and able to meet our needs.
