1 A Certain Man

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and

behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose

loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

Dan. 10:5

The “Certain Man” Who appeared to

Daniel in royal and priestly robes was

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He appeared in such great brightness

and majesty, that Daniel was

astonished and fell to the ground.

When we truly appreciate the majesty

of Jesus, we too will fall on our face to

worship him!

4

2 A Certain Nobleman

He said therefore, A certain nobleman went

into a far country to receive for himself a

kingdom, and to return. And he called his

ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,

and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

Luke 19:12

That “Certain Nobleman” is Jesus

Christ, Who established His kingdom

here on earth.

Jesus gives the gospel equally to each

believer.

We must occupy— which means “to

carry on the business” (of spreading

the gospel), until Christ returns.

5

3 A Certain Samaritan

But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed,

came where he was: and when he saw him,

he had compassion [on him],

Luke 10:33

That “Certain Samaritan” was none

other than Our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ.

He is the Supreme example of

compassion.

Jesus is the Only One Who can help

those of us who have been beaten . . .

and have fallen down at the side of the

road.

No matter what our circumstances nor

what sins we have committed—He

will come to where we are, with love

and forgiveness, and will heal all of

our wounds.

4 A Corn of Wheat

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn

of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth

alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

John 12:24

The word corn actually means – “a

kernel.”

Christ is our spiritual “Corn of

Wheat.”

Just as a kernel of wheat will never

become a plant unless it "dies" and is

"buried," so was the death and burial

of Jesus necessary before He could be

resurrected.

His resurrection assures us that

everyone who seeks Him will receive

the gifts of eternal life and forgiveness

of sins.

Therefore, the salvation of many was

made possible by the dying of this

single “Corn of Wheat.”

5 A Friend That Sticketh Closer

Than A Brother

A man [that hath] friends must shew himself

friendly: and there is a friend [that] sticketh

closer than a brother.

Prov. 18:24

The meaning of the word friend is . . .

“love.”

No one will ever love us like Jesus!!!

And no one will ever “stick to us like

glue” in all of our times of trials and

tribulations like Our Lord and Savior.

8

6 A Man Approved of God

Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of

Nazareth, a man approved of God among you

by miracles and wonders and signs, which

God did by him in the midst of you, as ye

yourselves also know:

Acts 2:22

Approved means “to expose to view,

exhibit or to demonstrate.”

Jesus Christ in His human form was

sent by God to show or demonstrate

His love for us:

(For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn

the world; but that the world through him might be

saved. – John 3:17)

As we become more “Christ-like” and

mature in our Christian walk, we also

become approved of God.

9

7 A Man of Sorrows

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of

sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we

hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was

despised, and we esteemed him

not.

Is. 53:3

The definition for sorrows is: “both

mental and physical pain; grief.”

Jesus felt pain and grief for the fallen,

desperate condition of humanity.

Mankind refused to listen to His

loving gospel—which caused Jesus

such great pain then (and now)

because He loves us so much.

10

8 A Man That is Called Jesus

He answered and said, A man that is called

Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes,

and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam,

and wash: and I went and washed, and I

received sight.

John 9:11

The love and mercy of Our Lord and

Savior is so magnificent that He heals

those . . . who do not even know His

name!

11

9 A More Excellent Way

But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet

shew I unto you a more excellent way.

1 Cor. 12:31

Following the path that Jesus set is not

only “a more excellent way”. . . but it

is the ONLY way!!!

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and

the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but

by me.” – John 14:6

12

10 A Nail in a Sure Place

And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure

place; and he shall be for a glorious throne

to his father's house.

Is. 22:23

Jesus was the NAIL, and that sure

place . . . was the cross.

By allowing His Dearly Beloved Son

to be cruelly nailed to a cross, Our

Father God gave us access to His

glorious throne.

13

11 A Polished Shaft

And he hath made my mouth like a sharp

sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid

me, and made me a polished shaft; in his

quiver hath he hid me;

Is. 49:2

Jesus did not begin His ministry until

He was 30 years of age.

But up until that time, Jesus was being

polished and sharpened by God with

the knowledge and skills that He

would need to effectively witness to

the people.

However, God Our Father had to

“hide” Jesus’ true purpose and protect

Him until the time was right for Him

to begin preaching the Gospel.

14

12 A Priest For Ever

As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art]

a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Heb. 5:6

Melchizedek was the King of Salem

in the Old Testament and he was also

anointed a priest by God. There is no

mention of his death nor of another

man following in his footsteps:

“For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the

most high God . . . Without father, without mother,

without descent, having neither beginning of days,

nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God;

abideth a priest continually . . .” – Heb. 7:1-4

Our Lord Jesus is Our High Priest for

eternity!

His priesthood is compared to

Melchizedek’s: unending, having

neither beginning of days nor end of

life.

15

13 A Refiner

And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of

silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and

purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer

unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

Mal. 3:3

A refiner is a “tester or an

examiner.”

We are as precious as silver to Our

Father.

However, before we can stand before

Him, we must be thoroughly refined

or tested for any impurities (sins).

Our Loving Refiner is Our Savior

Jesus Christ, Whose shed blood

cleanses and purifies us.

16

14 A Reproach of Men

But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach

of men, and despised of the people.

Ps. 22:6

Satan hates Jesus . . .

the world hates Jesus . . .

and even our own flesh hates Jesus!!!

However, Our Lord and Savior has

conquered all three enemies—and we

may confidently commit ourselves to

Him:

“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy

thoughts shall be established.” – Prov. 16:3

17

15 A Servant of Rulers

Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel,

[and] his Holy One, to him whom man

despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth,

to a servant of rulers . . .

Is. 49:7

This title represents the suffering,

rejection, hatred, and humiliation of

Jesus by the rulers Herod and Pilate.

He suffered such punishment for us as

proof of His love.

18

16 A Shadow From the Heat

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a

strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge

from the storm, a shadow from the heat,

when the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a

storm [against] the wall.

Is. 25:4

Shadow means “shade or

protection.”

Jesus is our “Shadow from the heat,”

which means He is our Protection

from the calamities or tribulations in

our lives.

We can always run to Our Lord and

Savior when things . . . “get too hot!”

19

17 A Sower

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he

sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was

trodden down, and the fowls of the air

devoured it.

Luke 8:5

Jesus “sows” His seeds of love and

righteousness into our hearts.

However, the devil will snatch up the

gospel immediately if we do not resist

his attempts to destroy us.

20

18 A Star Out of Jacob

I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold

him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out

of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of

Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,

and destroy all the children of Sheth.

Num. 24:17

“Star out of Jacob” is a title in the

Old Testament which refers to the

awaited Messiah or Deliverer.

This Messiah, we now know, is Our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

21

19 A Stone Cut Out Without

Hands

Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out

without hands, which smote the image upon

his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and

brake them to pieces.

Dan. 2:34

This “Stone Cut Out Without

Hands” is Our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ.

When Jesus returns, He will destroy

the world order (feet of iron and clay)

and establish His kingdom here on

earth.

22

20 A Stranger and An Alien

I am become a stranger unto my brethren,

and an alien unto my mother's children.

Ps: 69:8

Jesus’ own brothers did not believe in

Him and his friends thought He was

acting strangely!

“For neither did his brethren believe in him.”

John 7:5

“And when his friends heard of it, they went out to

lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside

himself.” – Mark 3:21

Jesus also viewed Himself as a “alien

on earth:”

“And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I

am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of

this world.” – John 8:2

23

21 A Teacher Come From God

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto

him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come

from God: for no man can do these miracles that

thou doest, except God be with him.

John 3:2

Teacher in this Scripture means -

“one who teaches concerning the

things of God, and the duties of man;

the one who showed men the way of

salvation.”

Jesus is Our Great Teacher Who

came from God!

Only He is capable of showing us the

way to eternal salvation:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and

the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by

me.”- John 14:6

24

22 A Tender Plant

For he shall grow up before him as a tender

plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he

hath no form nor comeliness; and when we

shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we

should desire him.

Is. 53:2

Jesus entered this world as a baby—

tender, weak and vulnerable.

But He grew up into a Mighty

Savior!!!

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and

in favour with God and man.” – Luke 2:52

25

23 A Tried Stone

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I

lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried

stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure

foundation he that believeth shall not make

haste.

Is. 28:16

Tried is defined as: “of proved

stability; suitable for a foundation of

a building.”

Jesus proved His suitability by

willingly laying down His life for our

salvation.

Therefore, He is the Only Stone

suitable enough to be the foundation

of our faith.

26

24 Above All Gods

For I know that the LORD [is] great, and

[that] our Lord [is] above all gods.

Ps. 135:5

The term “above all gods” is

translated “Elohiym,” the True God.

Now there are many gods that people

worship and serve, but they are not

living and they are not true.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

ABOVE all of the gods that men have

ever made . . . and ABOVE all of the

gods that men have ever worshipped.

There is only One True Lord and One

True Savior—and His name is

Jesus!!!

27

25 Accursed of God

And if a man have committed a sin worthy of

death, and he be to be put to death, and thou

hang him on a tree: His body shall not

remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt

in any wise bury him that day;(for he that is

hanged [is] accursed of God;) that thy land

be not defiled, which the LORD thy God

giveth thee [for] an inheritance.

Deut. 21:22-23

Any man who was hung on a tree was

cursed of God.

Christ became a curse for us because

He took our sins upon Himself:

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being

made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every

one that hangeth on a tree:”

Gal. 3:13

28

26 Advocate

My little children, these things write I unto

you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we

have an advocate with the Father, Jesus

Christ the righteous:

1 John 2:1

An Advocate - is defined as “one

who pleads another's cause; who

helps another by defending or

comforting him.”

Jesus is our Defense!

Jesus is our Comfort!

Jesus is our Advocate!

29

27 Almighty

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and

the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and

which was, and which is to come, the

Almighty.

Rev. 1:8

The Almighty means: “He who holds

sway over all things; the ruler of all.”

Jesus commands all the hosts and

powers in heaven and earth.

He is indeed Our Mighty Ruler of

All!

30

28 Alpha

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha

and Omega, the beginning and the end. I

will give unto him that is athirst of the

fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev. 21:6

“Alpha” is the first letter of the

Greek alphabet.

“Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I

[am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.”

Is. 48:12

Jesus is the beginning of all that we

need and the end of all that we need.

He is with us from our first breath

until our last.

From beginning to end, Jesus has

always existed and always will exist.

And if we believe on Him . . . He will

be with us for all eternity!

31

29 Altar

We have an altar, whereof they have no right

to eat which serve the tabernacle.

Heb. 13.10

The word Altar means: “a place of

sacrifice.”

Christ is Our Altar!

Those who continued to offer

sacrifices, or continue to put their

trust in rituals and sacraments

(serving the tabernacle) instead of

putting their trust in Christ Alone—

have no right to remission of sins.

32

30 Amen

And unto the angel of the church of the

Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the

faithful and true witness, the beginning of the

creation of God;

Rev. 3:14

The word Amen means: “firm, verily,

truly, faithful, so be it.”

We say Amen at the end of a prayer;

however, Jesus is Our Amen.

He is Our Prayer, He is Our Word.

Jesus is Our Faithful "so be it!"

33

31 Anchor of the Soul

Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the

soul, both sure and stedfast, and which

entereth into that within the veil;

Heb. 6:19

Anchor means “safeguard.”

When the spiritual seas get rough,

Jesus will hold onto us and keep our

souls (minds) safely afloat in His

grace.

34

32 Ancient of Days

Until the Ancient of days came, and

judgment was given to the saints of the most

High; and the time came that the saints

possessed the kingdom.

Dan. 7:22

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

existed from the beginning of all

time:

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine

own self with the glory which I had with thee

before the world was.” John 17:5

He will return and judge the whole

earth, starting with His church!

35

33 Angel

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep

thee in the way, and to bring thee into the

place which I have prepared.

Ex. 23:20

The “Angel” referred to in the above

Scripture is Jesus Christ.

Not only does Our Lord and Savior

go before us to prepare a place for us

in heaven . . .

(In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it

were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to

prepare a place for you. - John 14:2)

. . . but He also guides us in the place

we walk in today.

36

34 Angel of God

And my temptation which was in my flesh ye

despised not, nor rejected; but received me as

an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.

Gal. 4:14

Angel means "messenger."

Therefore, the “Angel of God” is the

"messenger of God," Jesus Christ.

He was sent by Our Father with the

important message of forgiveness,

love and hope.

No matter how many times we submit

to temptation, Jesus tells us that we

will not be despised by Him—nor by

Our Father.

37

35 Angel of His Presence

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the

angel of his presence saved them: in his love and

in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them,

and carried them all the days of old.

Is. 63:9

The Angel of His Presence means:

“the One Who stands before God

continually.”

This refers to Our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who continues to stand before Our

Father on our behalf.

38

36 Angel of the Lord

And there came an angel of the LORD, and

sat under an oak which [was] in Ophrah, that

[pertained] unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his

son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress,

to hide [it] from the Midianites;

Jud. 6:11

The appearance of the “Angel of the

Lord” to Gideon is called a

theophany.

This term is used for an Old

Testament appearance of Jesus Christ,

in human form, before His actual

“birth” in Bethlehem.

39

37

Anointed

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the

rulers take counsel together, against the

LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Ps. 2:2

Anointed in the above Scripture

means: Messiah, or Messianic prince.

Anointing was a practice of the

shepherds. They poured oil on the

sheep's head to make the wool

slippery so that lice and other insects

could not get into the sheep's eyes or

ears.

From this practice, anointing became

a symbol of blessing, protection and

empowerment.

God's "Anointed" is our Messiah

Jesus Christ, Who was anointed by

God with the Holy Spirit to spread the

Good News and to free those who

have been held captive by sin.

40

38

Apostle

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the

heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and

High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Heb. 3:1

An Apostle is “a person sent by

another; a messenger or envoy.”

Jesus Christ is God's Apostle, His

Beloved Messenger.

41

39 Ark of Thy Strength

Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting

place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests,

O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy

saints rejoice in goodness.

2 Chron. 6:21

The Ark of Thy Strength is the Ark

of the Covenant.

It is a symbol of God's presence and power.

Only Jesus Christ can truly represent

His Father’s “Presence:”

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a

son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being

interpreted is, God with us.” – Matt. 1:23

And only Jesus Christ can truly represent

His Father’s “Power :”

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is

given unto me in heaven and in earth.”- Matt. 28:18

Through the presence and power of Jesus

Christ, we can all be clothed in salvation

and rejoice in goodness.

42

40 Author and Finisher of Our

Faith

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our]

faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured

the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the

right hand of the throne of God.

Heb. 12:2

The word author in this Scripture

means: “one that takes the lead in

anything; an example or a pioneer.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the Premier Example of a Faithful Son.

He proved His faith by obeying His

Father’s every command.

The word finisher only occurs once

in the Bible. It means: “a perfector”

or “one who has in his own person raised

faith to its perfection and so set before us

the highest example of faith.”

Jesus is Our One and Only Perfector!

43

41 Author of Eternal Salvation

And being made perfect, he became the author of

eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Heb. 5:9

The word author in this Scripture

means: “that which is the cause of

anything.”

Obey is defined as – “to listen

attentively.”

It is because of Jesus shedding His

Precious blood for our sins that we are

able to be saved from eternal

damnation.

However, we must be obedient to our

Lord, and LISTEN ATTENTIVELY

to His Holy Word.

44

42 Babe

And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall

find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,

lying in a manger.

Luke 2:12

Through his mother, Mary, (whose

father Heli was in the line of David),

the Baby Jesus was an actual

descendant of David—thus fulfilling

God's promise about the heritage of

the Messiah.

By allowing Christ to enter the world

as a human baby, God is showing us

the road to true salvation, which starts

with the need to be “re-born:”

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily,

verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born

again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

John 3:3

45

43 Balm of Gilead

[Is there] no balm in Gilead; [is there] no

physician there? why then is not the health of

the daughter of my people recovered?

Jer. 8:22

This balm is a salve made from a tree

in Gilead, (a mountainous region of

Palestine, bounded on the west by the

Jordan River.)

This balm was used to soothe and heal

sores.

Jesus is Our Great Healer. He soothes

and cures whatever wounds we may

have—no matter how deep or how

painful.

46

44 Beginning

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning

and the end, the first and the last.

Rev. 22:13

Beginning in Greek means: “the first

person or thing in a series; the first

place, the leader, the origin; that by

which anything begins to be.”

Our Lord and Savior is the Beginning

of all things:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word

was with God, and the Word was God.”

John 1:1

47

45 Beginning of the Creation of

God

And unto the angel of the church of the

Laodiceans write; These things saith the

Amen, the faithful and true witness, the

beginning of the creation of God;

Rev. 3:14

Jesus is The Beginning of all

creation. He is the Origin of God's

creation and the creative force of

God.

He is The One in Whom all creation

had its beginning:

“All things were made by him; and without him was

not any thing made that was made.”

John 1:3

48

46 Blessed and Only Potentate

Which in his times he shall shew, [who is] the

blessed and only Potentate, the King of

kings, and Lord of lords; 1 Tim 6:15

Potentate means: “prince, high

officer, royal minister of great

authority.”

Jesus is the only One of “great

authority” Who is capable of

guaranteeing our salvation.

49

47 Blessed Hope

Looking for that blessed hope, and the

glorious appearing of the great God and our

Saviour Jesus Christ;

Titus 2:13

The term hope in this verse means:

“joyful and confident expectation of

eternal salvation.”

Without Our Blessed Savior, we have

no hope of eternal salvation.

50

48 Branch

And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh

the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man

whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall

grow up out of his place, and he shall build

the temple of the LORD:

Zec. 612

"Branch" refers to Jesus, the

Messiah from the Davidic tree:

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I

will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a

King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute

judgment and justice in the earth.” - Jer. 23:5

Christ was anointed by God to build

His Temple, meaning the spiritual

temple consisting of the saints of all

ages joined together by and in Christ:

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this

temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

John 2:19

51

49 Bread of God

For the bread of God is he which cometh

down from heaven, and giveth life unto the

world.

John 6:33

The "Bread of God" is Our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ Who descended

from heaven and became flesh in

order for us to have eternal life:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only

begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

John 1:14

This Bread will sustain us so that we

will never hunger.

52

50 Bread of Life

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of

life: he that cometh to me shall never

hunger; and he that believeth on me shall

never thirst.

John 6:35

The Hebrews made bread in the form

of an oblong or round cake, as large

as a plate.

This bread was not to be cut or sliced

. . . but broken before eaten.

When we believe in Jesus, we can

partake of this “bread,” this spiritual

nourishment—but first, we have to be

“broken” of our sins and re-formed in

His image.

As we continue to partake of “The

Bread of Life,” our hunger and thirst

for fleshly lusts and pleasures will

diminish.

53

51 Breastplate of Righteousness

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about

with truth, and having on the breastplate of

righteousness;

Eph. 6:14

A soldier’s breastplate covered all the

vital organs of the body, including the

heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver.

Our hearts need special protection

from the attacks of Satan.

The “Breastplate of Righteousness”

that protects us from these attacks is

the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

We are not looked upon by Our

Father God as righteous by what we

have said or done.

Instead, God sees us as righteous by

what Jesus has done!

54

52 Bridegroom

He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but

the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth

and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of

the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore

is fulfilled.

John 3:29

Jesus refers to Himself as the

“Bridegroom,” and His “bride” is the

church—meaning all those who

believe in Him:

“The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, believers)

say, “Come…” - Rev. 22:17 (AMP)

The friend of the bridegroom is John

the Baptist.

All believers are also friends of the

Bridegroom just like John.

We all can rejoice greatly when we

hear Our Bridegroom’s voice!

55

53 Bright and Morning Star

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto

you these things in the churches. I am the

root and the offspring of David, [and] the

bright and morning star.

Rev. 22:16

The “morning star” announces and

ushers in the day. It displays its

maximum brightness shortly before

sunrise.

This is what Christ represents. He is

the “Bright and Morning Star,” who

announces and ushers in every one of

our days.

He is our Maximum Brightness . . .

Who illuminates all the darkness in

our lives.

56

54 Brightness of His Glory

Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and

the express image of his person, and

upholding all things by the word of his

power, when he had by himself purged our

sins, sat down on the right hand of the

Majesty on high;

Heb. 1:3

Jesus is not a mere reflection of God's

brightness.

He is actually the very essence of the

brightness of God's glory Who came

down to live among us.

Our Savior is the light of God to all

humanity.

57

55 Brother

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the

brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda,

and Simon? and are not his sisters here with

us? And they were offended at him.

Mark 6:3

At one time every believer belonged

to the family of the devil.

When we became saved through the

precious blood of Our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ, we became

members of His Holy Family—and

He became “Our Most Blessed

Brother!”

58

56 Buckler

[As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word

of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all

those that trust in him.

Ps. 18:30

The buckler in this verse refers to a

small, light shield carried by the

Hebrew infantry for hand-to-hand

combat.

Sometime, the enemies that are the

hardest to see . . . are the ones that

are closest to us!

The spilled blood of Our Precious

Savior protects us from even our

closest enemies.

59

57 Bundle of Myrrh

A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto

me . . .

Songs 1:13

Myrrh is a very expensive Arabian

gum from the bark of a Northeastern

African shrub. It was used to prepare

the sacred oils used for rituals and

included in perfumes.

The presence of Jesus in our hearts

brings a precious sweetness and long-

lasting fragrance to our lives.

60

58 Camphire

My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of

camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

Songs 1:14

Camphire is a shrub bearing lovely,

fragrant flowers which produce the

dye henna.

The word also means: “the price of a

life, ransom or bribe.”

Our Lovely Savior Jesus Christ paid

the price of our redemption with His

life.

61

59 Captain of the Lord’s Host

And the captain of the LORD'S host said

unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot;

for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy.

And Joshua did so. Jos. 5:14

A "host" in the Bible is an unseen

army, invisible to the human eye—

that surrounds the throne of God.

The Great Captain of Our Father’s

army is none other than His Beloved

Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ.

62

60 Captain of Their Salvation

For it became him, for whom [are] all things,

and by whom [are] all things, in bringing

many sons unto glory, to make the captain of

their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Heb. 2:10

The Greek term Captain in this

Scripture means: “one that takes the

lead in any thing and thus affords an

example; a predecessor in a matter;

the author.”

Our Captain Jesus Christ is God’s

prime example of righteousness.

He is the Great Author of our

salvation . . . made possible only

through His suffering for our sins.

63

61 Carpenter

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the

brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and

Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?

And they were offended at him.

Mark 6:3

A carpenter is a: “worker in wood; a

joiner or builder.”

Men are represented as trees

throughout Scripture.

Jesus is the Carpenter Who skillfully

crafts our lives from the rough bark

and twisted branches which we once

were . . . into His Perfect Image.

64

62 Carpenter’s Son

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his

mother called Mary? and his brethren,

James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

Matt. 13:55

God is our Great Carpenter, the One

who created and formed us. He is The

Almighty Who built the world and

everything in it.

Jesus is the Carpenter's Son, the Son

of the Master Builder:

“For he looked for a city which hath foundations,

whose builder and maker [is] God.” - Heb. 11:10

65

63 Chief Cornerstone

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I

lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he

that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

1 Pet. 2:6

A cornerstone (also called the corner

foundation stone) is the important

first stone set in the construction of a

granite foundation. All other stones

will be set in reference to this stone,

thus determining the position of the

entire building.

This is a perfect description of Jesus!

As Our Lord and Savior, He is the

Precious Rock upon which our faith

must be built.

Jesus is the corner foundation stone

upon which the church is established.

If it is not, the church will have no

foundation and no stability.

66

64 Chief Shepherd

And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye

shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not

away.

1 Pet. 5:4

This passage teaches that Jesus is the

Chief or Supreme Shepherd Who

looks after us. He watches intently so

He may supply whatever we need.

In Biblical times, the responsibilities

of the shepherd included:

watching for enemies trying to attack

the sheep,

defending the sheep from attackers,

healing the wounded and sick sheep,

finding the lost or trapped sheep,

feeding and caring for the sheep.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the Chief Shepherd . . . Who intently

watches, defends, heals, finds, feeds,

and cares for His flock (the church).

67

65 Chiefest Among Ten

Thousand

My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the

chiefest among ten thousand.

Songs 5:10

Ten thousand is the largest number in

the Hebrew language.

Chiefest means "standard-bearer" or

the one privileged to carry the banner

or flag in battle.

In a procession, only the finest is

chosen to be the standard-bearer.

Jesus Christ is the Finest One . . . the

only One worthy to stand before the

children of God and carry the banner

of righteousness.

He is the example Whom we all must

follow.

68

66 Child

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is

given: and the government shall be upon his

shoulder . . .

Is. 9:6

Jesus Christ is the “Child” whose

birth was prophesized by Isaiah.

He is the Holy Son given to us as a

gift from Our Father.

Government means dominion or rule.

Only the Child Jesus Christ—has

dominion or total authority to rule.

69

67 Child of the Holy Ghost

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this

wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused

to Joseph, before they came together, she was

found with child of the

Holy Ghost.

Matt. 1:18

The “Immaculate Conception”

which occurred within Mary’s womb

could only have been conceived by

the Holy Spirit.

God breathed His Holy Spirit into

Mary’s womb to bring life to Jesus—

in the same way He breathed His

Spirit into Adam to bring him life.

70

68 Chosen of God

And the people stood beholding. And the

rulers also with them derided [him], saying,

He saved others; let him save himself, if he be

Christ, the chosen of God.

Luke 23:35

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the One specifically “chosen” or

appointed by God to accomplish

God's purposes and plans.

Although He could have saved

Himself at any time, Jesus did not—

for He knew that His death was

needed to complete God’s plan for

redemption for all of His children.

71

69 Christ

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of

Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called

Christ. Matt. 1:16

Christ means "anointed" in the Greek

language.

In the Old Testament, kings, priests

and prophets were all anointed with

chrism (perfumed oil) to consecrate

them to their respective offices.

Jesus The Christ was consecrated to

His office as Savior by the anointing

of the Holy Ghost.

72

70 Christ Jesus

And the peace of God, which passeth all

understanding, shall keep your hearts

and minds through Christ Jesus.

Phil. 4:7

Christ Jesus literally means the

“Anointed Savior of mankind.”

We can receive God’s peace for our

lives by believing on Our Anointed

Savior.

73

71 Christ Jesus Our Lord

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath

enabled me, for that he counted me

faithful, putting me into the ministry;

1 Tim 1:12

Our Lord in this Scripture is a title

which means: “he to whom a person

or thing belongs.”

The definition of enabled is: “to be

strengthened.”

We belong to Christ Jesus and He

alone is Our Lord.

Only Jesus can strengthen us and help

us to overcome whatever trials and

tribulations we must face:

“I can do all things through Christ which

strengtheneth me.” – Phil. 4:13

74

72 Christ of God

He said unto them, But whom say ye that I

am? Peter answering said,

The Christ of God.

Luke 9:20

Jesus is The Christ of God . . .

meaning He is “The Anointed” of

God.

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy

Ghost and with power: who went about doing good,

and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for

God was with him.” – Acts 10:38

75

73 Christ the King

Let Christ the King of Israel descend now

from the cross, that we may see and believe.

And they that were crucified with him reviled

him.

Mark 15:32

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a King!

He is the Messianic King!

Christ is the King whom God has sent

to reign over us!

76

74 Christ the Lord

For unto you is born this day in the city of

David a Saviour, which is

Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11

The birth of Baby Jesus was

announced by an angel.

He was declared to be Our Savior and

Our Master, both “Christ and Lord!”

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,

that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have

crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Acts 2:36

77

75 Christ the Son of God

But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest

answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by

the living God, that thou tell us whether thou

be the Christ, the Son of God.

Matt. 26:63

This is the question we must all

answer within our hearts . . . Is Christ

the Son of God?

Jesus will not answer that question for

us; He will continue to “hold His

peace.”

However, when we come to know

that Jesus Christ is the true Son of

God—then and only then will He

begin to speak to us through His Holy

Spirit.

78

76 Christ the Wisdom of God

But unto them which are called, both Jews

and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the

wisdom of God.

1 Cor. 1:24

The Greek word for wisdom means:

“supreme intelligence, such as

belongs to God.”

God's wisdom is not man's wisdom

multiplied to the highest degree. It is

of a different order altogether.

Only Jesus Christ possesses this

wisdom—because only He knows the

true mind of God.

79

77 Companion

I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear

thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

Ps. 119:63

Jesus is our closest “Companion.”

He is a Friend to all who love and

obey His Father.

80

78 Consolation of Israel

And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem,

whose name [was] Simeon; and the same

man [was] just and devout, waiting for the

consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost

was upon him.

Luke 2:25

Consolation means: “that which

affords comfort or refreshment.”

Jesus is Our Comforter, Our

Refresher!

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your

sins may be blotted out, when the times of

refreshing shall come from the presence of the

Lord;” Acts 3:19

81

79 Counselor

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is

given: and the government shall be upon his

shoulder: and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The

everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Is. 9:6

A counselor is “one who gives

advice, help, and direction.”

We can pray to Jesus for counsel or

advice in all matters of our lives.

82

80 Covenant

I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will

hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a

covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Is. 42:6

A covenant is an alliance between

God and man.

Therefore, Christ Himself is “Our

Covenant.”

A covenant of the people is also called

the "covenant of grace" because God

freely offers unto all sinners life and

salvation by Jesus Christ.

To gain this precious salvation, man's

participation in the covenant requires

him to have faith in Jesus, Our Lord

and Savior, so that he can be saved.

God's participation in the covenant is

a promise to give eternal life unto all

those that believe on the mighty name

of Jesus.

83

81 Covert From the Tempest

And a man shall be as an hiding place from

the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as

rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow

of a great rock in a weary land.

Is. 32:2

Covert means “shelter or protection.”

A tempest is a great storm such as a

blizzard or hurricane.

Jesus is Our Shelter from the storms

of life:

“For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong

tower from the enemy.” – Ps. 61:3

84

82 Creator of Israel

I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of

Israel, your King.

Is. 43:15

The definition of Israel is: “a

contender; a soldier of God.”

Jesus is creating a whole army of

believers, armed with His Holy Spirit,

and prepared to preach the gospel

despites the attacks of the forces of

evil.

85

83 Creator of the Ends of the

Earth

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,

[that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the

Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,

neither is weary? [there is] no searching of

his understanding.

Is 40:28

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

created the whole earth!

“He was in the world, and the world was

made by him, and the world knew him not.”

John 1:10

He never gets weak or weary and his

wisdom is unsearchable.

Therefore, He is totally in COMPLETE

CONTROL!!!

86

84 Crown and Diadem

In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a

crown of glory, and for a diadem of

beauty, unto the residue of his people,

Is. 28:5

A crown is a reward of victory or

mark of honor.

The diadem is a royal headband worn

by kings as a badge or symbol of

royalty and power. It could be plain,

embroidered with gold, or set with

pearls and precious stones.

For believers, the “Crown of Glory”

and the “Diadem of Beauty” is Our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He is “Our Reward of Victory” and

“Our Symbol of Power!”

Therefore, Jesus is the only One Who

qualifies to wear both crown and

diadem!

87

85 Crown of Rejoicing

For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of

rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence

of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

1 Thess. 2:19

Jesus represents Our “Crown of

Rejoicing.”

We can rejoice in the eternal

blessings which will be given as a

reward to the genuine servants of God

when Christ returns.

88

86 Day Star

We have also a more sure word of prophecy;

whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as

unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until

the day dawn, and the day star arise in your

hearts:

2 Pet. 1:19

A daystar is – “a star which precedes

and accompanies the sunrise.”

Having the Day Star arise in your

heart is to have Jesus in your

soul—bringing spiritual light and

comfort to the darkest regions of your

heart.

89

87 Daysmen

Neither is there any daysman betwixt us,

[that] might lay his hand upon us both.

Job 9:33

A daysman was a - “mediator,

umpire, arbiter, or judge.”

He was empowered by mutual

consent to arbitrate or settle a dispute

and could impose his authority and

enforce sentence.

Since Jesus Christ is both God and

Lord, only He can be our Daysman.

Only He can both decide our cause

and pronounce our sentence.

90

88

Dayspring

Through the tender mercy of our God;

whereby the dayspring from on high hath

visited us,

Luke 1:78

Dayspring means: “daybreak, dawn

of the morning or the rising of the sun

in the east.”

Jesus Christ is our Sun which arises

on a dark world every morning.

Since He was in the flesh, He could

only “visit” us for a short time

because . . . He could not stay.

91

89 Dear Son

Who hath delivered us from the power of

darkness, and hath translated [us] into the

kingdom of his dear Son:

Col. 1:13

The term dear in this Scripture

means: “the love of God toward

Christ.”

Jesus Christ is the “Dear Son” of

God.

Jesus is dearly loved by His Father. In

fact, no father ever loved his son

more.

This fact makes His death all the

more unspeakable—and God’s love

for us all the more incredible:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave

his only begotten Son, that whosoever

believeth in him should not perish, but have

everlasting life.” - John 3:16

92

90

Deliverer

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is

written, There shall come out of Sion the

Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness

from Jacob:

Rom. 11:26

In Greek, the definition of Deliverer

means: “to draw to one's self.”

Jesus delivers us from evil by calling

us to Him:

“And the Lord shall deliver me from every

evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his

heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for

ever and ever. Amen.” - 2 Tim. 4:18

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will

draw all [men] unto me.” - John 12:31

93

91 Desire of All Nations

And I will shake all nations, and the desire of

all nations shall come: and I will fill this

house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

Hag. 2:7

After being “shaken” or undergoing

the wrath of God, all nations and all

the people in the world will be

seeking peace.

Since Our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ is the “Prince of Peace,” He

will be the object of our desires.

94

92 Discerner

For the word of God [is] quick, and

powerful, and sharper than any twoedged

sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder

of soul and spirit, and of the joints and

marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts

and intents of the heart.

Heb. 4:12

A discerner is “one who is fit for judging,

skilled in judging and passing judgment

on the thoughts of the mind; one who is

capable of discriminating between good

and evil.”

Jesus Christ is the only One Who is

fit, skilled and capable of dividing the

“spirit” from the “soul” . . . thereby

determining our true intents.

One day, we will all stand before Our

Lord and Savior to be JUDGED

according to the content of our hearts!

95

93 Door of the Sheep

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily,

verily, I say unto you, I am the door

of the sheep.

John 10:7

A field sheep pen was an enclosure

for sheep with only one entrance—a

door through which the sheep can go

in and out.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the only “Door” through which we

“sheep” can enter into heaven.

96

94 Dreadful

But cursed [be] the deceiver, which hath in

his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth

unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I [am] a

great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my

name [is] dreadful among the heathen.

Mal. 1:14

Dreadful in Hebrew means: “to

inspire reverence or godly fear; to

cause astonishment and awe.”

At the name of Jesus . . . every knee

shall bow on Judgment Day.

Both the saved and the unsaved shall

be astonished and in awe of Our

Great “KING OF KINGS!”

97

95 Dwelling Place

Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all

generations.

Ps. 90:1

Dwelling place is defined as: “a

refuge or a place of safety.”

People of all ages can run to Jesus

during times of trouble.

He alone is our “Refuge.”

98

96 Emmanuel

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring

forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,

which being interpreted is, God with us.

Matt. 1:23

The name Emmanuel is defined as

“God with us.”

It is a title of Jesus that refers to His

divine nature joined with His human

nature.

Therefore, His very name signifies

that Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

is both GOD (God with us) . . . and

MAN (God with us)!

99

97 Ensign

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,

which shall stand for an ensign of the people;

to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall

be glorious.

Is. 11:10

An ensign was something that was

lifted up for the people to see—such

as a banner, signal pole, sail, sign, or

standard.

Jesus Christ Himself said that if we as

believers "lift Him up" by spreading

the gospel, His inward spiritual power

would be able to influence them and

win over their hearts to Him:

“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will

draw all [men] unto me.” - John 12:32

100

98 Equal with God

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not

robbery to be equal with God:

Phil. 2:6

There is only One Person Who can be

considered “equal with God” . . . and

that Person is Jesus Christ.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word

was with God, and the Word was God.”

John 1:1

101

99 Eternal Life

(For the life was manifested, and we have

seen [it], and bear witness, and shew unto

you that eternal life, which was with the

Father, and was manifested unto us;)

1 John 1:2

Jesus is “Our Eternal Life.”

By believing in Him, we are

guaranteed an everlasting existence

with Our Heavenly Father, when our

life on this earth is over.

102

100 Everlasting Father

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is

given: and the government shall be upon his

shoulder: and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The

everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Is. 9:6

Father in this Scripture also means:

“producer or generator.”

Jesus is the Producer of all eternity.

His spilled blood gave us spiritual life

and guarantees that we have an

everlasting covenant with God.

103

101 Everlasting Light

The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither

for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee:

but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting

light, and thy God thy glory.

Is. 60:19

The word “light” in this Scripture is

used of an unconscious person when

he begins to recover.

Jesus is our Everlasting Light, the

only One Who can guide us out of the

darkness of sin and confusion.

When we come to our senses or

awaken from our “comatose” sinful

state and ask Jesus to save us . . . He

will gradually open our eyes so that

we can perceive His LIGHT!

104

102 Express Image of His Person

Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the

express image of his person, and upholding all

things by the word of his power, when he had by

himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand

of the Majesty on high;

Heb. 1:3

The Greek word for express image is

“charaktēr.” This word occurs only once

in the Scriptures and it means: “a stamp,

facsimile or precise reproduction.”

This word also means: “the

instrument used for engraving or

carving.”

Jesus has the “character” of God.

Therefore, He is the instrument which

God uses to mold our Christian

characters:

“For whom he did foreknow, he also did

predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his

Son…” – Rom. 8:29

105

103 Faithful and True

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white

horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called

Faithful and True, and in righteousness he

doth judge and make war.

Rev. 19:11

The term faithful is used of persons

who: “show themselves trustworthy in

the transaction of business, the

execution of commands, or the

discharge of official duties.”

True means “real, or genuine.”

Jesus is the Faithful and True . . . the

Real, Trustworthy and Genuine Son

of God!

106

104 Faithful Witness

And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful

witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead,

and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto

him that loved us, and washed us from our

sins in his own blood,

Rev. 1:5

A witness is “a faithful interpreter of

God’s counsel.”

All of the things which Jesus knew of

the Father, He faithfully made known

to His children.

107

105 First and Last

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And

he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,

Fear not; I am the first and the last:

Rev. 1:17

Jesus is the First by creation:

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans

write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true

witness, the beginning of the creation of God;”

Rev. 3:14

And Jesus is the “Last” by

resurrection:

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and

the life: he that believeth in me, though he were

dead, yet shall he live:” – John 1:25

108

106 First Begotten

And again, when he bringeth in the

firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let

all the angels of God worship him.

Heb. 1:6

Firstbegotten means: “first in honor

and position.”

God placed His Beloved Son above

all the other creatures which He had

created.

Even the angels honor Jesus through

their worship.

109

107 First Begotten of the Dead

And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful

witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead,

and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto

him that loved us, and washed us from our

sins in his own blood,

Rev. 1:5

Jesus was the first Person Who was

ever resurrected.

And He is Pre-eminent or Greatest

among all those who are or will be

resurrected:

“And he is the head of the body, the church: who is

the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in

all [things] he might have the preeminence.”

Col. 1:18

110

108 Firstborn of Every Creature

Who is the image of the invisible God, the

firstborn of every creature:

Col. 1:15

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the First Person Who came into

being through God . . . prior to the

entire universe of created things.

Therefore, Jesus is considered to be

the first Person Who was ever

“born:”

“Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than

the kings of the earth.” - Ps. 89:27

111

109 Firstfruits

But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and]

become the firstfruits of them that slept.

1 Cor. 15:20

The “firstfruit” was the earliest ripe

harvest presented to God as a

sacrifice.

By virtue of His resurrection, Jesus

became the Firstfruit of all that had

died.

112

110 Forerunner

Whither the forerunner is for us entered,

[even] Jesus, made an high priest forever

after the order of Melchisedec.

Heb. 6:20

A forerunner is: “one who is sent in

advance to take observations, acting

as scouts, especially in military

matters; or one who is sent to see that

the way was prepared.”

Christ was resurrected and went in

advance of His followers to prepare a

place for them in heaven:

“In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it

were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a

place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that

where I am, [there] ye may be also.” - John 14:2-3

113

111 Fortress

I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and

my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Ps. 91:2

Fortress means: “stronghold or fort.”

We can always put our trust in Jesus

to be our Stronghold and everlasting

Fortress!

“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;

and he knoweth them that trust in him.” Nah. 1:7

114

112 Foundation

For other foundation can no man lay than

that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 Cor. 3:11

A foundation is the lowest part of a

building on which it rests.

It also means: “an institution or

system of truth.”

We all must have the truth of Jesus

Christ as the foundation of our faith.

Nothing and no one else is as solid or

unmovable as Our Lord:

“He is like a man which built an house, and digged

deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the

flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that

house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon

a rock.” – Luke 6:48

115

113 Fountain

In that day there shall be a fountain opened

to the house of David and to the inhabitants

of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.

Zec. 13:1

The Hebrew word fountain in this

Scripture means: “a source of life.”

Jesus is the source of all life:

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and

the life: he that believeth in me, though he were

dead, yet shall he live:” - John 11:25

116

114 Friend

. . . This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my

friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Songs 5:16

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN

JESUS!

No one can be a closer, more loving

and devoted Friend than a Person

Who would lay down His life for you:

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay

down his life for his friends.”

John 15:13

117

115 Friend of Publicans and

Sinners

The Son of man came eating and drinking,

and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and

a winebibber, a friend of publicans and

sinners. But wisdom is justified of her

children.

Matt. 11:19

Publicans were tax collectors. They

were detested because of the

roughness, greed, and deception, with

which they did their jobs.

Jesus is a Friend of both publicans

and sinners. His spilled blood

provides the only way for them to

come before Our Holy Father:

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that,

while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Rom. 5:8

118

116 Fuller’s Soap

But who may abide the day of his coming?

and who shall stand when he appeareth? for

he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers'

soap:

Mal. 3:2

A “fuller” was someone who cleaned

and thickened freshly-woven cloth.

The process involved cleaning,

bleaching, wetting, and beating the

fibers to a consistent and desirable

condition. They used a very strong

lye-based soap for this purpose.

Christ has come to thoroughly cleanse

and purge us of all of our impurities:

“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me,

and I shall be whiter than snow.” Ps. 51:7

119

117 Gift of God

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou

knewest the gift of God, and who it is that

saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou

wouldest have asked of him, and he would

have given thee living water.

John 4:10

Our Father God loves us so much that

He gave us the Greatest Gift

imaginable, namely His Only

Begotten Son.

When we receive this Blessed Gift—

we will have eternal life:

“For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God

[is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Rom. 6:23

120

118 Glory of their Strength

For thou [art] the glory of their strength:

and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Ps. 89:17

Our Lord and Savior is the Glorious

Source of our power and might!

Whenever we feel too weak to go

on—we can always call on Jesus for

strength.

121

119 Glory of Thy People Israel

A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory

of thy people Israel.

Luke 2:32

Glory means: “the kingly majesty of

the Messiah.”

This term describes the absolutely

perfect majesty of Christ:

His magnificence,

His excellence,

His preeminence,

His dignity,

His grace.

122

120 God Blessed Forever

Whose [are] the fathers, and of whom as

concerning the flesh Christ [came], who is

over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Rom. 9:5

Because of His faithfulness, Jesus

will be blessed by His Father for the

rest of eternity.

And if we believe in His Son, God

will bless us forever as well!

123

121 God Manifest in the Flesh

And without controversy great is the mystery

of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,

justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,

preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the

world, received up into glory.

1 Tim. 3:16

Jesus is God in human form, meaning

that He is God the Son, the Second

Person of the Holy Trinity!

Through His mother Mary, Jesus was

born as a human and sent by Our

Father for the redemption of the sins

of all mankind.

And there should be no controversy

or debate about this fact.

So, even though it may seem to be a

great mystery as to exactly how God

could become flesh—those of us who

believe this mystery without question,

will have eternal life.

124

122 God of the Whole Earth

For thy Maker [is] thine husband; the LORD

of hosts [is] his name; and thy Redeemer the

Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole

earth shall he be called.

Is. 54:5

Jesus truly has the whole world in His

hands.

And on judgment day the whole earth

will kneel before Him.

125

123 God of Truth

[He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all

his ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and

without iniquity, just and right [is] he.

Deut. 32:4

The term truth in this Scripture means:

“firmness, fidelity, steadfastness.”

There is no one more steadfast or

faithful than Our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ.

He is Our Truth:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the

life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

John 14:6

126

124 Good Master

And, behold, one came and said unto him,

Good Master, what good thing shall I do,

that I may have eternal life?

Matt. 19:16

The definition of Master is: “one who

teaches concerning the things of God,

and the duties of man.”

Our Good and Excellent Teacher is

Jesus Christ, Who teaches us all

things about Our Father:

“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all

taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard,

and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.”

John 6:45

127

125 Good Shepherd

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd

giveth his life for the sheep.

John 10:11

The term good means: “excellent in

its nature and characteristics, and

therefore well adapted to its ends;

genuine, approved, precious,

praiseworthy, noble.”

Our Genuine, Approved, Excellent

Precious, and Noble Lord Jesus Christ

is our Good Shepherd and worthy to

be praised!

128

126 Goodness

My goodness, and my fortress; my high

tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he]

in whom I trust; who subdueth my people

under me.

Ps. 144:2

The definition of goodness is:

“faithfulness, love, and kindness.”

Jesus has proved His goodness and

faithfulness to Our Father and His

love toward us by His death on the

cross.

129

127 Governor

And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda,

art not the least among the princes of Juda:

for out of thee shall come a Governor, that

shall rule my people Israel.

Matt. 2:6

Governor means “a prince of regal

power.”

Baby Jesus was sent unto this world

to rule with majesty.

He was equipped with the power over

all the dark forces and will one day

reign supreme!

130

128 Great High Priest

Seeing then that we have a great high priest,

that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son

of God, let us hold fast [our] profession.

Heb. 4:14

The high priest was the only one

allowed to enter into the sacred holy

sanctuary.

Christ became Our Great High Priest

by His death.

When He was resurrected, Jesus

entered into the heavenly sanctuary

where He continually intercedes on

our behalf.

131

129 Great King

Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool:

neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the

great King.

Matt. 5:35

The title king in this Scripture means:

“leader of the people; prince, commander,

lord of the land.”

Christ, Our Great King:

Our Leader!

Our Commander!

Our Prince!

Our Lord!

132

130 Great Light

The people that walked in darkness have seen

a great light: they that dwell in the land of

the shadow of death, upon them hath the light

shined.

Is. 9:2

When we live in sin and darkness,

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

Our “Great Light.”

He alone can lead us out of the

shadow of death and into everlasting

life.

133

131 Great Prophet

And there came a fear on all: and they

glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is

risen up among us; and, That God hath

visited his people.

Ps. 89:17

The term “Prophet” in this Scripture

is a reference to the Messiah.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the Great Prophet that we have been

looking for.

Visited means: “to look upon in order

to help or to benefit.”

Jesus is the proof of God’s desire to

help His children.

134

132 Great Reward

After these things the word of the LORD

came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear

not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy

exceeding great reward.

Gen. 15:1

The definition of Reward is:

“payment of contract; fare, fee,

passage-money.”

Jesus is “Our Great Reward!”

He willingly gave His Life as the fare

or passage-money for our trip to

heaven.

And He even exceeded beyond paying

this price—by securing the payment

for the contract or covenant between

God and mankind.

135

133 Great Shepherd of the Sheep

Now the God of peace, that brought again

from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great

shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of

the everlasting covenant,

Heb. 13:20

We are all like sheep, needing a Great

Shepherd to lead us away from

danger and into safety.

We can trust Our Great shepherd not

to lead us astray!

136

134 Guest

And when they saw [it], they all murmured,

saying, That he was gone to be guest with a

man that is a sinner.

Luke 19:7

When you invite Jesus to be a Guest

in your heart, He will purify you.

It will not matter who or what you

are, for after Jesus lodges within you

. . . a permanent and glorious

transformation takes place.

Therefore, Jesus is one Guest that

you will never want to leave!!!

137

135 Harmless

For such an high priest became us, [who is]

holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from

sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Heb. 7:26

The term harmless in this Scripture

means “free from guilt.”

Christ was not guilty of any crime—

yet He allowed Himself to be hung on

a cross and crucified . . .

BECAUSE WE WERE GUILTY!!!

138

136 He That Blotted Out Thy

Transgressions

I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy

transgressions for mine own sake, and will

not remember thy sins.

Is. 43:25

Blotteth is defined as: “to wipe out or

exterminate.”

By shedding His precious blood,

Jesus blotted or wiped out all of our

sins—past, present and future!!!

139

137 He That Cometh After Me

John bare witness of him, and cried, saying,

This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh

after me is preferred before me: for he was

before me.

John 1:15

Although Jesus was born after John

the Baptist, Our Lord was the true

Messiah Who existed before the

world was created:

“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb

without blemish and without spot: Who verily was

foreordained before the foundation of the world,

but was manifest in these last times for you,”

1 Pet. 1:19-20

140

138 He That Hath the Key of

David

And to the angel of the church in

Philadelphia write; These things saith he

that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the

key of David, he that openeth, and no man

shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

Rev. 3:7

The person who holds the keys of

David is: “one who has the power to

receive others into the kingdom of

God or exclude from it.”

We all must stand before Jesus on

Judgment Day.

Jesus alone is the keeper of the keys

and of the doors of God’s Kingdom.

Therefore, only He has the power to

open and to close.

141

139 He That is True

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia

write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is

true, he that hath the key of David . . .

Rev. 3:7

The term true in this Scripture is

defined as: “real or genuine.”

The Name of Jesus means “Jehovah

is salvation.”

This means that Our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ is the only One Who can

give us salvation.

Therefore, Jesus’ Name does actually

correspond to His real and genuine

nature—and the reason He was sent

to this earth:

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his

name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their

sins.” – Matt. 1:21

142

140 He That Liveth

I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and,

behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and

have the keys of hell and of death.

Rev. 1:18

Liveth means: “endless in the

kingdom of God; having vital power

in itself and exerting the same upon

the soul.”

Because of His resurrection, Our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ is truly alive

forever more.

He has endless power and authority

vested in Him as the Son of God.

143

141 He That Made Me Whole

He answered them, He that made me whole,

the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and

walk.

John 5:11

Jesus will heal all the broken pieces

of your life, no matter how shattered

it may be.

He will make us whole and restore us

to health physically, emotionally and

spiritually—if we would just have

faith and believe in Him.

144

142 He That Shall Come

For yet a little while, and he that shall come

will come, and will not tarry.

Heb. 10:37

The promise to return which Jesus

made when He left earth is the

bedrock of our faith:

“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which

thou hast, that no man take thy crown.”

Rev. 3:11

In due time, Our Lord and Savior

shall come again!!!

145

143 He Whom God Hath Sent

For he whom God hath sent speaketh the

words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit

by measure unto him.

John 3.34

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was

purposefully SENT by God to

prophesize His message to mankind.

Now, although there had been many

previous prophets—the Holy Spirit

was only given to them by a

measured amount or in a limited

portion.

However, Jesus has the Holy Spirit

. . . without measure!

It was this unmeasured pouring of the

Spirit upon Him which accounts for

Jesus being able to speak the words of

God.

146

144 He Whom God Raised Again

But he, whom God raised again, saw no

corruption.

Acts 13:34

On the third day after He was

crucified, Jesus was The One “raised

from the death of sleep” by His

Father God!

The resurrection of Christ was the

great proof of His being the Son of

God.

Therefore, it was not possible that He

should be held by death.

147

145 Head

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up

into him in all things, which is the head,

[even] Christ:

Eph. 4:15

The “head” is “anything supreme,

chief, or prominent.”

Christ is the Head of the Church of

God, and all believers are members.

148

146

Heir

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by

[his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all

things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Heb. 1:2

The definition of heir in this Scripture

is: “one who receives his allotted

possession by right of sonship.”

We belong to Jesus for He is the True

Son of God, His Holy Heir:

“I have manifested thy name unto the men which

thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were,

and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy

word.” – John 17:6

149

147 Helmet of Salvation

And take the helmet of salvation, and the

sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Eph. 6:17

Helmet is this Scripture is defined as:

“the protection of the soul.”

The soul is the mind.

Therefore, we must put on the

protection of Our Savior as we resist

the demon forces which attack our

minds.

150

148 Her Firstborn

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and

wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid

him in a manger; because there was no room

for them in the inn.

Luke 2:7

Because of her obedience, Mary was

given the awesome reward of being

the mother of the Savior of the world.

Therefore, her firstborn Son was also

the firstborn of God.

151

149 Her Seed

And I will put enmity between thee and the

woman, and between thy seed and her seed;

it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise

his heel.

Gen 3:5

“Her seed,” indicates that Jesus

Christ is a descendent of the first

woman, Eve.

When God cursed the serpent for

enticing Eve to sin, He was declaring

even then that His Son (Who would

be born through a woman) . . . would

eventually destroy Satan.

152

150 Hidden Manna

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the

Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that

overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden

manna, and will give him a white stone, and

in the stone a new name written, which no

man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].

Rev. 2:17

The “Hidden Manna” is Christ, The

Bread of Life.

Overcome means: “they that hold fast

their faith even unto death against the

power of their foes, and temptations

and persecutions; to conquer; to be

victorious.”

Those believers who “overcome” and

resist false teachings will receive the

Blessings of The Hidden Manna . . .

Jesus Christ!

153

151 Hiding Place

Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in

thy word.

Ps. 119:114

Hiding place means – “covering,

shelter, or protection.”

Jesus is our “Hiding Place!”

He covers, protects and keeps us safe

from even the most violent storms in

our lives.

154

152 High Priest

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the

heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and

High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Heb. 3:1

The “High Priest” or Chief Priest had

the duties of the preparation and the

offering of sacrifices in the Temple.

Jesus Christ Himself is Our High

Priest because by undergoing a

bloody death, He offered Himself as

the supreme sacrifice to God on our

behalf.

155

153 High Tower

My goodness, and my fortress; my high

tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and [he]

in whom I trust; who subdueth my people

under me.

Ps. 144:2

Christ is Our High Tower!

In His arms, our souls will be safe and

secure in a place high above our trials

and tribulations.

156

154 Highest

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of

the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face

of the Lord to prepare his way;

Luke 1:76

John the Baptist was designated to be

the prophet for the Highest - Our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:

“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the

wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was

spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one

crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord,

make his paths straight.” Matt. 3:1-3

157

155 Highway

And an highway shall be there, and a way,

and it shall be called The way of holiness; the

unclean shall not pass over it; but it [shall

be] for those: the wayfaring men, though

fools, shall not err [therein].

Is. 35:8

Highway is defined as “a great

road.”

Jesus is Our Great Road to Heaven.

Belief in Him is the only way to God

and eternal salvation:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and

the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by

me.” – John 14:6

158

156 Him That filleth

Which is his body, the fulness of him that

filleth all in all.

Eph. 1:23

Filleth means: “to cause God's will to

be obeyed as it should be, and God's

promises to receive fulfillment; to fill

to the top so that nothing shall be

wanting.”

Jesus teaches us about God’s will and

His promises.

He fills us with His love so that we

will want for nothing:

“The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.”

Ps. 23:1

159

157 Him Whom Man Despised

Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel,

[and] his Holy One, to him whom man

despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth,

to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and

arise, princes also shall worship, because of

the LORD that is faithful, [and] the Holy One

of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Is. 49:7

Jesus Christ is despised and scorned

by those who have hardened their

hearts to His message:

“He that heareth you heareth me; and he that

despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth

me despiseth him that sent me.” – Luke 10:16

160

158 Him Whom My Soul Loveth

[It was] but a little that I passed from them,

but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held

him, and would not let him go, until I had

brought him into my mother's house, and into

the chamber of her that conceived me.

Songs 3:3

Those whose hearts are open to the

message of Our Savior will love Him

with their whole hearts, minds, souls,

and strengths.

Believers latch onto His hands and

will not let Him go.

They even rush to share the good

news of His message to family and

friends.

161

159 Him Whom The father Hath

Sanctified

Say ye of him, whom the Father hath

sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou

blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of

God?

John 10:36

Sanctified means: “to separate from

profane things and dedicate to God.”

Christ was dedicated by His Father

God to the office of Messiah.

162

160 His Own Son

He that spared not his own Son, but

delivered him up for us all, how shall he not

with him also freely give us all things?

Rom. 8:32

Our Father God demonstrated His

great love for us by sacrificing His

Own Son, Our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ.

Therefore, whatsoever we ask for in

Jesus’ name will be freely given.

163

161 His Well-Beloved

Having yet therefore one son, his

wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them,

saying, They will reverence my son.

Mark 12:6

Wellbeloved means: “beloved,

esteemed, dear, favorite, worthy of

love.”

These are all descriptions of how

deeply Our Father cared for His Son

Jesus Christ.

164

162 Holy and True

And they cried with a loud voice, saying,

How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost

thou not judge and avenge our blood on them

that dwell on the earth?

Rev. 6:10

Jesus is not only Holy but also True

. . . meaning He IS NOT fictitious,

counterfeit, imaginary, simulated, or

bogus.

We can trust Him implicitly because

He is genuine, sincere and for real!

165

163 Holy Child

By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and

that signs and wonders may be done by the

name of thy holy child Jesus.

Acts 4:30

All healing and all miracles are

accomplished through the power of

Jesus, the Holy Child of God.

166

164 Holy One

But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and

desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

Acts 3:14

Those who wanted Jesus put to death

and the murderer Barabbas released

were amazed at the miracles which

Peter and the other disciples were

able to perform.

However, the disciples knew that

their powers could only come from

the Holy One, Jesus Christ.

167

165 Holy One of God

Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do

with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou

come to destroy us? I know thee who thou

art, the Holy One of God.

Mark 1:24

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

The Holy One of God.

Even the demons knew Who Jesus

really was—and they also knew Who

sent Him!

168

166 Holy One of Israel

Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of

Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and

thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Is. 41:14

The title Holy One means: “sacred or

set apart.”

Jesus was set apart by God to redeem

the nation of Israel which now includes

all believers.

169

167 Holy Thing

And the angel answered and said unto her,

The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and

the power of the Highest shall overshadow

thee: therefore also that holy thing which

shall be born of thee shall be called the Son

of God.

Luke 1:35

The term Holy Thing in this Scripture

means “Holy One.”

Jesus Christ is the Only One Who was

ever conceived by the Holy Ghost.

He alone is the True Holy Son of

God.

170

168 Hope of glory

To whom God would make known what [is]

the riches of the glory of this mystery among

the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope

of glory:

Col. 1:27

Hope is defined as: “the joyful and

confident expectation of eternal

salvation.”

All believers will be able to abide in

the Majesty of God because of the

sacrifice of Our Hope of Glory.

171

169 Horn of Salvation

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for

us in the house of his servant David;

Luke 1:69

A horn is defined as: “a mighty and

valiant helper, the author of

deliverance.”

Jesus is Our Horn of Salvation.

He is Our Mighty and Valiant

Messiah, Our Savior, the real Author

of our Deliverance.

172

170

Husband

For thy Maker [is] thine husband; the LORD

of hosts [is] his name; and thy Redeemer the

Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole

earth shall he be called.

Is. 54:5

The church is the Bride of Christ and

He is the Husband:

“For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for

I have espoused you to one husband, that I may

present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.”

2 Cor. 11:2

173

171 I AM

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say

unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

John 8:58

Jesus states that He existed long

before the beloved forefathers of

Israel.

We can rest assured that the Great “I

AM” is in total control of our

situation.

174

172 I That Speak in Righteousness

Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with

dyed garments from Bozrah? this [that is]

glorious in his apparel, travelling in the

greatness of his strength? I that speak in

righteousness, mighty to save.

Is. 63:1

To speak in this Scripture means: “to

command or to declare.”

The Traveler with the “glorious

apparel” in the above Scripture is Our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He declared His saving righteousness

to the world:

“My righteousness [is] near; my salvation is gone forth,

and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait

upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.” – Is. 51:5

175

173 Image of God

In whom the god of this world hath blinded

the minds of them which believe not, lest the

light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is

the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Cor. 4:4

Jesus is the exact image of God, His

Father.

The more we study the Scriptures and

come to know Christ, the more we

will be able to know Our Father.

176

174 Israel

And said unto me, Thou [art] my servant, O

Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

Is. 49:3

The definition for the name “Israel”

is: “governed by God.”

Jesus Christ is God’s Servant, Who

has always carried out His Father’s

wishes:

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily,

verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of

himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what

things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son

likewise.” - John 5:19

177

175 Jesus

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou

shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save

his people from their sins.

Matt. 1:21

The name JESUS means: "Jehovah is

salvation."

Therefore, it stands for both the Name

of Our Savior and His purpose here

on earth.

178

176 Jesus Christ

And this is life eternal, that they might know

thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ,

whom thou hast sent.

John 17:3

The name Jesus Christ also means:

“the Anointed Son of God.”

This name was given to Our Lord and

Savior to designate Him as the Only

True and Anointed Son of God . . .

Who was sent to give us a chance for

life eternal!

179

177 Judge

Grudge not one against another, brethren,

lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge

standeth before the door.

Jam. 5:9

Jesus comes as a “Judge,” not only to

judge the world, but also to assess the

faithfulness of Christians:

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat

of Christ; that every one may receive the things

[done] in [his] body, according to that he hath

done, whether [it be] good or bad.”

2 Cor. 5:10

In light of this, we cannot allow

hardship to make us unloving and

hold grudges towards each other.

180

178 Judge of the Quick and Dead

And he commanded us to preach unto the

people, and to testify that it is he which was

ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick

and dead.

Acts 10:42

The quick are those who are alive and

the dead are those who are spiritually

dead.

Jesus was ordained by His Father God

as a “Judge” for both types of people.

181

179 Just Man

When he was set down on the judgment seat,

his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou

nothing to do with that just man: for I have

suffered many things this day in a dream

because of him.

Matt. 27:19

Just man is defined as a man who is:

“innocent, faultless, and guiltless.”

Jesus was completely innocent of the

charges falsely accused against

Him—but He suffered in silence for

our eternal salvation.

182

180 Just One

And he said, The God of our fathers hath

chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his

will, and see that Just One, and shouldest

hear the voice of his mouth.

Acts 22:14

The Just One is someone who is:

“approved of or acceptable of God.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the Approved and Acceptable Son of

God!!!

183

181 King

Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout

aloud, O Daughter of Jerusalem! Behold,

your King comes to you; He is

[uncompromisingly] just and having

salvation [triumphant and victorious],

patient, meek, lowly, and riding on a donkey,

upon a colt, the foal of a donkey.

Zec. 9:9 (AMP)

Jesus was crowned “King” and

anointed by Our Father for the

salvation of mankind.

However, Jesus was humble enough

to enter the city upon a small, young

donkey.

This shows that Our Lord is both

Majestic and Lowly . . . two traits

which can only exist together in a

True King!

184

182 King Eternal

Now unto the King eternal, immortal,

invisible, the only wise God, [be] honour and

glory for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Tim. 1:17

King is a title which means: “lord of

the land and leader of the people.”

Jesus Christ is Our King Eternal, The

Lord of The Land, Who will rule

God’s kingdom forever!

185

183 King of Glory

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of

hosts, he [is] the King of glory. Selah.

Ps. 24:10

Our Lord and Savior is the King of

Glory, meaning He is: “the King of

all that is majestic, splendid and

magnificent.”

Our Glorious King is Worthy to be

praised… Selah!

186

184 King of Israel

Nathanael answered and saith unto him,

Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou

art the King of Israel.

John 1:49

Nathanael knew without a shadow of

a doubt the Jesus was the “King of

Israel,” meaning He was the King of

God’s peculiar people.

Today all believers are considered to

be included in this group of God’s

beloved.

187

185 King of Kings

And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh

a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND

LORD OF LORDS.

Rev. 19:16

Of all the rulers who have ever

inhabited this earth, Jesus is the

Supreme King of them all!

He is the most powerful KING of all

time!

188

186 King of the Jews

And set up over his head his accusation

written,

THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matt. 27:37

The religious leaders among the Jews

objected to this title. They felt it was

false because they did not believe that

Jesus was the “King of the Jews:”

“Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate,

Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I

am King of the Jews.”- John 19:21

But Pilate, instead of accusing Christ

as a Criminal—he proclaimed him a

King three times in three different

inscriptions.

Therefore, God causes men to serve

His purposes . . . even while they

believe that they are serving their

own.

189

187 Lamb

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb

that was slain to receive power, and riches,

and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and

glory, and blessing.

Rev. 5:12

Christ is referred to as “Our Lamb.”

. . innocently suffering and cruelly

killed for our sins.

No one is more worthy of all of our

love and praises than Our Precious

Lamb!!!

190

188 Lamb of God

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto

him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God,

which taketh away the sin of the world.

John 1:29

Jesus is God’s Sacrificial Lamb.

He had to be slain because no one can

come before Our Father in a state of

sin.

God therefore had to sacrifice His

Own Son in order For His children to

reside with Him for all eternity:

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should

not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16

191

189 Last Adam

And so it is written, The first man Adam was

made a living soul; the last Adam [was

made] a quickening spirit.

1 Cor. 15:45

God “created” only two men who had a

profound and everlasting impact on the

world . . . Adam and Jesus.

God breathed life into the first Adam,

and he became a living soul:

“And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the

ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;

and man became a living soul.” – Gen. 2:7

Jesus is the “Last Adam” conceived by

God’s Holy Spirit and given life:

“But while he thought on these things, behold, the

angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,

saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto

thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her

is of the Holy Ghost.” – Matt. 1:20

192

190 Lawgiver

For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is]

our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will

save us.

Is. 33:22

Lawgiver is a name which means: “to

inscribe or engrave.”

Jesus helps to engrave the laws of

God upon our hearts through the

ministering of His Holy Spirit.

193

191 Life

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,

and the life: no man cometh unto the

Father, but by me.

John 14:6

NO ONE can have eternal life

without first believing upon Our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ.

In fact, Jesus is THE LIFE!

“In him was life; and the life was the light of

men.” - John 1:4

194

192 Lifter Up of My Head

But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my

glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Ps. 3:3

Whenever, we feel down and

depressed, hanging our heads in shame

and despair, unable to face another day

. . . Jesus can lift up our heads by

giving us love and hope for tomorrow.

He can even shield us from our own

negative, destructive thoughts.

195

193 Light

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of

the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God

did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light

thereof.

Rev. 21:23

There will be no darkness in

Heaven—for Jesus will be Our Light.

He is also Our Light here on earth

when we become lost in the darkness

of sin.

196

194 Light of Men

In him was life; and the life was the light of

men.

John 1:4

Light in this Scripture means: “the

power of understanding, especially

moral and spiritual truth.”

Without Jesus, we are spiritually dead

and mentally in perpetual darkness.

Or in other words, we cannot

understand our life here on earth nor

the glory of eternal life without His

LIGHT!

197

195 Light of the Morning

And he shall be as the light of the morning, when

the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as

the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear

shining after rain.

2 Sam. 23:4

In this Scripture, David is describing

the attribute of a good Ruler.

Such a Ruler:

1. Rules in righteousness and in the fear

of God,

2. Guides and directs His people,

3. Makes them cheerful and comfortable;

4. Has a government which is pleasant,

delightful, and promises a growing and

increasing happiness to them—just as a

morning without clouds.

All of these qualities describe Our

Light of the Morning . . . Jesus

Christ!

198

196 Light of the World

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I

am the light of the world: he that followeth

me shall not walk in darkness, but shall

have the light of life.

John 8:12

Anyone on this earth who is living in

the darkness of sin can come to Jesus

and have His healing light give them

true life.

Only Our Precious Savior can “light

up your world!”

199

197 Light to the Gentiles

And he said, It is a light thing that thou

shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes

of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of

Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the

Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation

unto the end of the earth.

Is. 49:6

Jesus brings His glorious light to shine

on both Hebrews and non-Hebrews

(Gentiles) alike.

Therefore, all may partaketh of His

saving grace.

200

198 Lion of the Tribe of Judah

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep

not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the

Root of David, hath prevailed to open the

book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Rev. 5:5

Lion means: “a brave and mighty

hero with great strength.”

Jesus is a descendent of David who

was from the tribe of Judah.

There is none stronger, braver or

mightier than Our Lord Jesus Christ.

201

199 Living Bread

I am the living bread which came down

from heaven: if any man eat of this bread,

he shall live for ever: and the bread that I

will give is my flesh, which I will give for the

life of the world.

John 6:51

Jesus is our “Living Bread” because

He gives nourishment to our souls as

well as to our physical bodies.

Anyone who eats of the “Living

Bread” will have everlasting life.

202

200 Living Stone

To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone,

disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God,

[and] precious,

1 Pet. 2:4

Jesus is God’s Precious “Living

Stone” . . .

Strong,

Resilient,

Steadfast.

He is the Living Stone for all of

God’s children—even those who do

not believe in Him.

203

201 Living Water

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou

knewest the gift of God, and who it is that

saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou

wouldest have asked of him, and he would

have given thee living water.

John 4:10

In ancient times, spring water

was called “living” water

because it seemed to be "alive"

as it bubbled up from the

ground.

Jesus is Our Living Water Who

quenches our spiritual thirst and

gives us eternal life.

204

202 Lord

Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved

saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when

Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he

girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was

naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

John 21:7

The term “Lord” in this

Scripture means – “supreme in

authority” or “controller.”

The Apostle John immediately

recognized the Stranger coming

toward them.

He knew that only a Person

who had complete authority

and control of the elements

could possibly walk on water.

And that Person could only be

THE LORD . . . Christ Jesus!

205

203 Lord and Christ

Therefore let all the house of Israel know

assuredly, that God hath made that same

Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord

and Christ.

Acts 2:36

God sent His Son Jesus Christ

to be both “Lord” and “Christ”

. . . meaning both “Master”

and “Messiah.”

Those who crucified Him were

obviously not aware of His

powerful and glorious dual

titles.

206

204 Lord and Savior

For if after they have escaped the pollutions

of the world through the knowledge of the

Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are

again entangled therein, and overcome, the

latter end is worse with them than the

beginning.

2 Pet. 2:20

Savior is defined as: “deliverer

or preserver.”

Jesus is the Only One mighty

enough to be both Our Lord

and Our Deliverer!

We must always turn to Him

when we become “tangled-up”

in sin.

Otherwise, our lives would be

worse than before we knew

Him.

207

205 Lord From Heaven

The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the

second man [is] the Lord from heaven.

1 Cor. 15:47

The 1st man, of course, was

Adam.

The 2nd

man, Jesus, is Our

Lord, manifested in the flesh,

Who came down from heaven

to save us:

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine

own will, but the will of him that sent me.”

John 6:38

208

206 Lord of All

The word which [God] sent unto the

children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus

Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

Acts 10:36

Jesus is not a respecter of persons.

He offers salvation to all—both Jews

and Gentiles!

And regardless of religious beliefs,

Jesus Christ is LORD OF ALL:

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of

things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under

the earth; And that every tongue should confess that

Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Phil. 2:10-11

209

207 Lord of Glory

Which none of the princes of this world knew:

for had they known [it], they would

not have crucified the Lord of glory.

1 Cor. 2:8

The rulers of this earth (whether

human or demonic) were blinded to

the true glorious power of Christ, so

they killed Him, mistakenly believing

that His glory would go with Him to

the grave.

However, after His crucifixion, God

restored His Blessed Son to the glory

which He had before the beginning of

time:

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own

self with the glory which I had with thee before the

world was.” – John 17:5

210

208 Lord of Hosts

[As for]our redeemer, the LORD of hosts

[is] his name, the Holy One of Israel.

Is. 47:4

Hosts refer to: “the leader of an

army.”

Christ is the Great Leader of Our

Father’s army of believers.

211

209 Lord of Lords

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the

Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of

lords, and King of kings: and they that are

with him [are] called, and chosen, and

faithful.

Rev. 17:14

Jesus is “Lord of Lords” . . . the

Sovereign of all sovereigns.

All the powers of earth and hell are

subject to His control.

All faithful believers will answer when

He calls them to discipleship:

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they

follow me:” - John 10:27

212

210 Lord of Peace

Now the Lord of peace himself give you

peace always by all means. The Lord [be]

with you all.

2 Thess. 3:16

Jesus is the “Lord of Peace,” meaning

He is “The Lord of harmony and

tranquility.”

All believers can have His special

peace in the midst of the turmoil

around them:

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not

as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart

be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” - John 14:27

213

211 Lord of the Dead and Living

For to this end Christ both died, and rose,

and revived, that he might be Lord both of

the dead and living.

Rom. 14:9

One of the definitions for dead is:

“destitute of a life that recognizes and

is devoted to God; given up to

trespasses and sins.”

Living means: “active, blessed,

endless in the kingdom of God.”

All of us were “spiritually dead”

before we came to Jesus.

Our Savior was crucified because we

did not know His Father—so we were

continually giving in to our trespasses

and sins.

But He was resurrected so that we

could have endless, everlasting life in

the kingdom of God!!!

214

212 Lord of the Harvest

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly

[is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye

therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he

would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Luke 10:2

Harvest refers to: “the gathering of

men into the kingdom of God.”

It is a time of reaping (meaning the

final judgment), when the righteous

are gathered into the kingdom of God

and the wicked are cast into hell

forever.

Jesus will send his “laborers” or

disciples into the world to preach His

gospel.

But regardless of whether we accept

their message, we will all stand before

Jesus at “harvest time!”

215

213 Lord of the Sabbath

Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the

sabbath.

Mark 2:28

Christ is the “Lord of the Sabbath.”

This means that He is the Master of

our holy day of rest.

But Christ is also in complete control

every day of the week!!!

216

214 Lord Our Righteousness

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel

shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name

whereby he shall be called,

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Jer. 23:6

“THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” is

a sacred name symbolically applied to the

Messiah . . . Our Lord and Savior Jesus

Christ.

He will protect and save His people.

217

215 Master

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your

Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are

brethren.

Matt. 23:8

Master is defined as: “a guide or

teacher.”

All of the lessons which we need to be

able to exist in this flesh body were

taught by Jesus in His parables.

Christ is our Master Teacher.

218

216 Master of the House

Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master

of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the

cockcrowing, or in the morning:

Luke 13:25

Master in this Scripture means: “he to

whom a person or thing belongs; the

owner; one who has control of the

person.”

Jesus is Our Master and He has total

control over us because we belong to

Him:

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,

having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are

his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of

Christ depart from iniquity.” – 2 Tim. 2:19

Therefore, we must try to be obedient

in all areas of our lives—for we do not

know when “Our Master of the

house” shall return.

219

217 Mediator

For [there is] one God, and one mediator

between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

1 Tim. 2:5

A mediator is: “one who works with

both sides in a dispute in an attempt to

help them to reach an agreement.”

Our Father God is a Holy Spirit; we

are made of flesh. Our sinful flesh

cannot stand before a Holy God.

However, Our Father still desires for

us to dwell with Him for all eternity.

Therefore, the only way this glorious

blessing can be ours—is to have a

“mediator” to make reconciliation

between God and us.

Since such a mediator must be both

divine and human . . . Our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ is the only One

Who could accomplish this!

220

218 Mediator of the New

Covenant

And to Jesus the mediator of the new

covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that

speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.

Heb. 12:24

The Old covenant was made by

God with Noah after all the

inhabitants of the earth were

destroyed by the flood because

of their disobedience.

The New Covenant is

authorized by the blood of

God’s Precious Son . . . Our

Blessed Mediator Jesus Christ!

Instead of destroying the earth

again, God put to death His

Own Son to atone for our sins.

221

219 Meek and Lowly

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye

shall find rest unto your souls.

Matt. 11:29

Jesus displays His nature when He

describes Himself as “meek and

lowly” . . . meaning He is “gentle,

mild and humble.”

It is His servant’s heart, displayed

throughout His ministry, that qualifies

Jesus to be the One Who bears our

burdens and gives our souls rest.

222

220 Mercyseat

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing

the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak

particularly.

Heb. 9:5

The “mercy seat” was the ornate lid

for the Ark of the Covenant.

It was decorated with the designs of

the cherubims upon it.

The blood of sacrifice was sprinkled

upon it for the forgiveness of Israel’s

sins on the Day of Atonement (Exodus

25:17-22).

We are atoned in the eyes of God by

the precious blood of the slain Lamb,

Jesus Christ!

He is Our Mercyseat!

223

221 Messenger of the Covenant

Behold, I will send my messenger, and he

shall prepare the way before me: and the

Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to

his temple, even the messenger of the

covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he

shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Mal. 3:1

This “Messenger of the covenant” is

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

His arrival will be announced by my

messenger – meaning God’s

messenger, John the Baptist.

Jesus is coming to His temple as the

fulfillment of the old covenant . . . and

to institute a new covenant with His

gospel which will delight all believers!

224

222 Messiah

The woman saith unto him, I know that

Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when

he is come, he will tell us all things.

John 4:25

Messias is the Greek form of Messiah

and it means "anointed."

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

“The Messiah” . . . The Anointed

One!

He was chosen by God to teach and

preach and prophesize to mankind.

225

223 Messiah the Prince

Know therefore and understand, [that] from

the going forth of the commandment to

restore and to build Jerusalem unto the

Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks,

and threescore and two weeks: the street

shall be built again, and the wall, even in

troublous times.

Dan. 9:25

Prince in this Scripture also means:

“the anointed one.”

Jesus in Our Anointed Prince, Our

Messiah.

226

224 Mightier Than I

I indeed baptize you with water unto

repentance: but he that cometh after me is

mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy

to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy

Ghost, and [with] fire:

Matt. 3:11

Mightier means: “one who has the

excellence of character and strength of

soul to sustain the attacks of Satan.”

The Only One Who can fit this

description is Jesus Christ!

Although John the Baptist was a great

man, he knew without a shadow of a

doubt that the One Who baptizes with

the Holy Ghost was “Mightier” than

he.

227

225 Mighty God

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is

given: and the government shall be upon his

shoulder: and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor,

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The

Prince of Peace.

Is. 9:6

The Mighty God means: “the one who

is most like God.”

Christ is the image of His Father.

He is the Only One who is most like

God.

228

226 Mighty One of Israel

Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a

holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart,

as when one goeth with a pipe to come into

the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty

One of Israel.

Is. 30:29

The term the mighty One means

“rock.”

For the Nation of Israel (which now

includes all believers, regardless of

race, creed or color), Our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ is “Our Rock”

. . . steadfast and unmovable.

Knowledge of His unfaltering love

will keep “gladness in our hearts and a

song on our lips!”

229

227 Mighty To Save

Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with

dyed garments from Bozrah? this [that is]

glorious in his apparel, travelling in the

greatness of his strength? I that speak in

righteousness, mighty to save.

Is.63:1

By the power of His MIGHT, Christ

was able to bring about the promised

redemption.

Therefore, whatever difficulties and

oppositions may be in your way,

Christ is . . . Mighty Enough To Save

You!!!

230

228 Mine Elect

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine

elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have

put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth

judgment to the Gentiles.

Is. 42:1

Elect means: “the chosen one of

God.”

Jesus is the Only One especially

elected to come to earth to save us.

By sacrificing His life, Christ ensured

that one day we will be able to stand

before a Holy God because our sins

are covered by His blessed blood.

231

229 Minister of the Circumcision

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of

the circumcision for the truth of God, to

confirm the promises [made] unto the

fathers:

Rom. 15:8

The term Minister in this Scripture has

a slightly different definition, namely:

“one who executes the commands of

another.”

Circumcision is a term used to

describe Christians who are separated

from the unclean multitude and are

truly sanctified by God.

Christ is the One Who carries out the

commands of God regarding the need

for His people to be holy and

separated from the world:

“Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”

1 Pet. 1:16

232

230 Minister of the Sanctuary

A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true

tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not

man.

Heb. 8:2

Minister in this Scripture means: “one

by whom God administers His affairs

and executes His decrees.”

Jesus is now Our Minister of the

Sanctuary!

He resides in the true tabernacle in

heaven, taking care of His Father’s

affairs, and carrying out His judgment.

233

231 My Beloved

My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of

camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

Songs 1:14

Jesus is Our Beloved Savior Whom

we adore.

He is the Only One worthy of our

absolute affection and devotion.

234

232 My Beloved Son

And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is

my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matt 3:17

These words mark the beginning of

the public ministry of Jesus Christ.

However, make note that God

expressed His divine love and pleasure

of Jesus . . . BEFORE Jesus had even

started to carry out God’s wishes!

Or in other words, Jesus had not

performed any actions yet to earn

God’s love and approval.

Therefore, the love of God is not

conditional on our “works;” rather, it

is a gift which He bestows on all of

His children.

We are all BELOVED by Our

Father!!!

235

233 My Defense

But the LORD is my defence; and my God

[is] the rock of my refuge.

Ps. 94:22

Defense means: “a high or a secure

place.”

Our security and our safety lies in the

knowledge and Blessed Assurance of

the blood of Jesus.

He is our only Defense from the forces

of evil which seek to destroy God’s

children.

236

234 My Helper

So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is]

my helper, and I will not fear what man

shall do unto me.

Heb. 13:6

All believers can boldly say that Jesus

is “My Helper!”

Only He can come to our aid in times

of need.

Even if you are facing a turbulent or

dangerous situation, you need not

fear—for “Your Helper” is right there

ready to assist you.

237

235 My Lamp

For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the

LORD will lighten my darkness.

2 Sam. 22:29

Jesus provides light in the midst of our

struggles so that we can stay focused

on Him.

He alone is “Our Lamp”. . . Our

Illumination . . . Our Light at the end

of the tunnel.

As long as we can stay focused on

Him, we will emerge safely from the

darkness of sin.

238

236 My Lord and My God

And Thomas answered and said unto him,

My Lord and my God.

John 20:28

The title Lord is defined as: “the

owner; one who has control of the

person; the master.”

“My God” is a term used of the only

true God.

Jesus had to prove to a “doubting”

Thomas just Who He really

was—namely, both Master and God.

To all of us who continue to doubt

Him, at some point in our lives, Our

Lord and Our God will reveal His true

presence.

239

237 My Portion

The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul;

therefore will I hope in him.

Lam. 3:24

One of the definitions for portion is:

“reward.”

Eternal life with Our Lord and Savior

is the reward promised to every

believer:

“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his

Father with his angels; and then he shall reward

every man according to his works. - Matt. 16:27

This reward is the hope upon which

our faith is built.

240

238 My Servant

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen;

my beloved, in whom my soul is well

pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and

he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

Matt. 12:18

My Servant is defined as: “one who

fulfils God’s will.”

Jesus is the Only One personally

chosen by God to do His will.

241

239 My Shepherd

The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not

want.

Ps. 23:1

One of the definitions of Shepherd is:

“to be a special friend.”

My Shepherd is My Special Friend,

Jesus Christ!!!

242

240 My Shield

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he

is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation,

my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour;

thou savest me from violence.

2 Sam. 22:3

The Word shield in this

Scripture means: “protector.”

Jesus is Our Shield! Our Great

Protector!

Regardless of the violence,

wrong, cruelty, injustice, etc.

that may be happening to our

physical bodies, Christ will

save our soul if we would just

trust in Him:

“For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast

delivered my soul from the lowest hell.”

Ps. 86:13

243

241 My Son

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said

unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I

begotten thee.

Ps. 2:7

The term “My Son” is evidence of the

deity of Jesus and His superiority to all

angels.

This title is reserved for God the Son,

the Second Person of the Trinity.

244

242 My Stay

They prevented me in the day of my

calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

2 Sam. 22:19

The term my stay means: “support.”

Jesus is Our Stay; we can always lean

on Him when we do not have the

strength to go on.

His everlasting arms will always

support us and hold us up.

245

243 My Strength

Pull me out of the net that they have laid

privily for me: for thou [art]

my strength.

Ps. 31:4

The definition of strength means:

“place or means of safety; protection,

refuge, or stronghold.”

These are all descriptions of Our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ, Our

Strength!

246

244 My Well- Beloved

. . . My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a

very fruitful hill:

Is 5:1

Christ is beloved by all believing

souls.

Faith in Our Well-Beloved will help

us to develop our own fruitful hill!

247

245 Mystery

To whom God would make known what [is]

the riches of the glory of this mystery

among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you,

the hope of glory:

Col. 1:27

This “mystery” is the living presence

of Jesus in the believer—whether Jew

or Gentile.

The fact that Jesus would abide in the

Gentiles was not clearly revealed in

the Old Testament.

Therefore, He was a Mystery Who

wasn’t revealed until the time of His

ministry.

248

246 Nazarene

And he came and dwelt in a city called

Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was

spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a

Nazarene.

Matt. 2:23

Nazareth was a town built upon a hill

in the lovely lower region of Galilee.

After returning from Egypt, Joseph

and Mary brought the Baby Jesus back

to their hometown of Nazareth.

Therefore, He is referred to as a

“Nazarene!”

249

247 New Wine

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else

the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled,

and the bottles shall perish.

Luke 5:37

“New wine” is freshly pressed wine.

When put into new wineskins, they

would stretch as the wine continued to

ferment. Then the skins would harden.

New wine could not be put into old

wineskins which could no longer expand.

Jesus is Our New Wine!!!

Therefore, we cannot pour the new life

that He gives us into our old bodies.

We must have new bodies created by

His Holy Spirit:

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old

man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And

be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on

the new man, which after God is created in righteousness

and true holiness.”

Eph 4:22- 24

250

248 O Thou Most High

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing

praise to thy name,

O thou most High.

Ps. 9:2

The term, “O thou most High,” was

used of a high-ranking Davidic king.

Jesus, of the line of David, is Our

Most High King!

251

249 Offering

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved

us, and hath given himself for us an

offering and a sacrifice to God for a

sweetsmelling savour.

Eph. 5:2

Offering means: “a gift or present.”

By offering His life, Jesus gave us the

greatest gift ever . . . namely

sanctification!

“For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them

that are sanctified.” - Heb. 10:14

252

250 Ointment Poured Forth

Because of the savour of thy good ointments

thy name [is as] ointment poured forth,

therefore do the virgins love thee.

Songs 1:3

Ointment is defined as: “an unguent

or balm; a substance that is soothing

and gives comfort and relief from

pain.”

The love of Jesus can ease all

wounds—whether physical, emotional

or spiritual.

His very NAME is precious, soothing

and comforting to our hearts!

253

251 Omega

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and

the end, the first and the last.

Rev. 22:13

Omega is the last letter of the Greek

alphabet.

This means that Jesus is not only

before all things—but He will remain

after all things.

Or in other words, Our Savior has total

control of our lives before our births as

well as after our deaths.

254

252 One Lord

But to us [there is but] one God, the Father,

of whom [are] all things, and we in him;

and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are]

all things, and we by him.

1 Cor. 8:6

There is but One Lord, by Whom all

things were created . . . and His name

is Jesus.

Our faith should rest in Him alone:

“One Lord, one faith, one baptism,” – Eph. 4:5

255

253 One Shepherd

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them

also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and

there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.

John 10:16

A shepherd was responsible for:

1. watching out for enemies trying

to attack the sheep,

2. defending the sheep from

attackers,

3. healing the wounded and sick

sheep,

4. finding and saving lost or

trapped sheep,

5. loving them, and sharing their

lives and earning their trust.

Our Father God has anointed only One

Shepherd to watch over His “flock”

(His children).

That One Shepherd is Our Lord Jesus

Christ!

256

254 One Son

Having yet therefore one son, his

wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them,

saying, They will reverence my son.

Mark 12:6

Our Father God had only One Son

Whom He sent to save the world from

our sins.

We must believe on this “One Son”

. . . because none other will be sent!

257

255 Only Begotten Son

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him

should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

Only Begotten means: “to be one’s

only son or daughter.”

Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God

because He is the Only One Who also

has the essential nature of God.

258

256 Our Hope

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the

commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord

Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope;

1 Tim. 1:1

The word hope in this Scripture is

defined as: “the joyful and confident

expectation of eternal salvation.”

Only Jesus can be the source of Our

Hope.

Only through Him, can we enjoy

confident expectation of eternal

salvation.

259

257 Our Passover

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be

a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ

our passover is sacrificed for us:

1 Cor. 5:7

During Passover, a paschal lamb was

slain and eaten by the Ancient

Hebrews in remembrance of the night

when God instructed them to sprinkle

their door posts with its blood, so that

the destroying angel, seeing the blood,

might pass over their dwellings.

Christ crucified is likened to the slain

paschal lamb.

Therefore, He is Our Passover, Whose

blood and body we must spiritually

partake in order to have eternal life.

260

258 Our Peace

For he is our peace, who hath made both

one, and hath broken down the middle wall of

partition [between us];

Eph. 2:14

Peace in this Scripture means: “the

tranquil state of a soul assured of its

salvation through Christ, fearing

nothing from God and content with its

earthly lot, of whatsoever sort that is.

By assuming our nature, Jesus Himself

became Our Peace and Our

Tranquility!

Believers can be assured of our

salvation because Jesus has paid the

full price by His sacrifice on the cross.

He has not simply made peace

between God and man, but also

between Jew and Gentile.

261

259 Our Sufficiency

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to

think any thing as of ourselves; but

our sufficiency [is] of God;

2 Cor. 3:5

Sufficiency means: “the ability or

competency to do a thing.”

We can do nothing by ourselves;

therefore we are insufficient:

“I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that

abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth

forth much fruit: for without me ye can do

nothing.” - John 15:5

Only Jesus has the ability to do all

things, so our sufficiency must come

from Him:

“I can do all things through Christ which

strengtheneth me.” – Phil. 4:13

262

260 Physician

When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them,

They that are whole have no need of the

physician, but they that are sick: I came not

to call the righteous, but sinners to

repentance.

Mark 2:17

Jesus Christ is the perfect Physician

for those whose souls are sick.

He is the perfect Doctor to heal us of

our sins.

263

261 Pillar of the Cloud

And the angel of God, which went before the

camp of Israel, removed and went behind

them; and the pillar of the cloud went from

before their face, and

stood behind them:

Ex. 14:19

The “Pillar of the cloud” was Our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He is present before us when we go

into battle . . . and He is present right

behind us during our battles.

264

262 Plant of Renown

And I will raise up for them a plant of

renown, and they shall be no more consumed

with hunger in the land, neither bear the

shame of the heathen any more.

Ezek. 34:29

Jesus is Our Plant of Renown, which

means: “a plant of great prominence

and authority in God’s kingdom.”

We can share His gospel with all those

who are “consumed with hunger” for

righteousness.

265

263 Power of God

But unto them which are called, both Jews

and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the

wisdom of God.

1 Cor. 1:24

Power means: “strength and ability.”

Only Jesus has the God-given ability

to save the world.

Therefore, Jesus Christ Himself is the

Power of God.

But this true power and strength of

God could have only been achieved

by Christ crucified.

Therefore, the cross is what gave

Jesus His power!

266

264 Precious Corner Stone

Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah,

Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone,

a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure

foundation: he that believeth shall not be in

haste.

Is. 28:16 (ASV)

Precious is defined as: “highly valued,

prized, weighty, rare, splendid.”

These are all descriptions of Our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ, the Precious

Cornerstone or foundation of our

faith.

267

265 Prince

Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to

be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give

repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Acts 5:31

Prince in this Scripture means: “one

that takes the lead in any thing and

thus affords an example; a

predecessor in a matter; a pioneer.”

Jesus is the perfect example of a true

Prince.

And God has exalted Him for His

unwavering obedience.

268

266 Prince of Life

And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath

raised from the dead; whereof we are

witnesses.

Acts 3:15

Our “Prince of Life,” Jesus Christ,

had to be killed in order for us to have

eternal life.

However, His Father would not leave

Jesus in that state of death . . . but

raised Him up on the third day.

269

267 Prince of Peace

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is

given: and the government shall be

upon his shoulder: and his name shall be

called Wonderful, Counsellor, The

mighty God, The everlasting Father, The

Prince of Peace.

Is. 9:6

Peace is defined as: “completeness,

safety, soundness (in body), welfare,

health, prosperity, quietness,

tranquility, contentment, friendship.”

Our Lord and Savior is the Blessed

Prince of all of these attributes.

By believing in Him, we will also

have eternal contentment, soundness,

safety, health, prosperity, and

tranquility!!!

270

268 Prince of the Kings of the

Earth

And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful

witness, [and] the first begotten

of the dead, and the prince of the kings of

the earth . . .

Rev. 1:5

Jesus in the only “Prince” Who is

more powerful than any king who ever

lived!

Every king who has existed on this

earth will eventually kneel to Him!

271

269 Prophet From the Midst of

Thee

The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a

Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy

brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall

hearken;

Deut. 18:15

The term Prophet is defined as: “a

spokesman or speaker; a messenger of

God and declarer of His will.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ was born as a

human and raised among His people.

His purpose was to declare the will of

His Father and offer salvation to those

who believed on Him.

However, God commanded that Jesus

be worshipped and obeyed (harken),

just as we worship and obey Our

Father.

272

270 Prophet Mighty in Deed and

Word

And he said unto them, What things? And

they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of

Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in

deed and word before God and all the

people:

Luke 24:19

Jesus revealed Himself through His

actions (deeds) as well as His words.

Our Mighty Prophet practiced exactly

what He preached!

273

271 Prophet of Nazareth

And the multitude said, This is Jesus the

prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

Matt. 21:11

Most of the people during the time of

Jesus had no idea of exactly Who He

was—thus the term “Prophet of

Nazareth.”

They heard about His prophecies and

His teachings, but the concept of Him

being the Son of God was not widely

known.

274

272 Propitiation

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but

that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the

propitiation for our sins.

1 John 2:2

Propitiation means: “to appease, to

pacify; to say or do something in order

to make someone less angry.”

The wrath of Our Father concerning

our sins is appeased only by the

precious blood of His Beloved Son.

275

273 Purifier

And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of

silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi,

and purge them as gold and silver, that they

may offer unto the LORD an offering in

righteousness.

Mal. 3:3

A purifier is: “one who makes clean.”

Our sins are cleansed and washed

away by Our Purifier Jesus Christ . . .

through His shed blood.

276

274 Quickening Spirit

And so it is written, The first man Adam was

made a living soul; the last Adam [was

made] a quickening spirit.

1 Cor. 15:45

A quickening is defined as: “to

arouse and invigorate; to make alive,

give life or to restore to life by

spiritual power.”

Jesus Christ is our Quickening Spirit!

He gives us life because HE IS LIFE!

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and

the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by

me.” – John 14:6

277

275 Rabbi

Nathanael answered and saith unto him,

Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the

King of Israel.

John 1:49

“Rabbi” was a title used by the Jews

to address their teachers. It means:

“my great one; my honorable sir.”

Jesus is Our Great Honorable

Teacher, worthy to be praised!

278

276 Rain Upon the Mown Grass

He shall come down like rain upon the

mown grass: as showers [that] water the

earth.

Ps. 72:6

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

our invigorating, energizing,

revitalizing, and stimulating “Rain!”

And in due time, He will return!

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of

the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the

precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience

for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.”

Jam. 5:7

279

277 Ransom

For even the Son of man came not to be

ministered unto, but to minister, and to give

his life a ransom for many.

Mark 10:45

Ransom is defined as: “to liberate

many from misery and the penalty of

their sins.”

By sacrificing His life, Christ became

Our Ransom!

He paid the ultimate penalty for our

sins—thereby liberating us from the

misery of hell!

280

278 Redeemer

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and

unto them that turn from transgression in

Jacob, saith the LORD.

Is. 59:20

A “redeemer” is the person

responsible to buy a family member or

fellow tribesman out of slavery.

Christ is Our Redeemer Who brought

us out of the slavery of sin which we

were in before we became saved.

The price that He paid to redeem us

was His very life!

281

279 Refiner’s Fire

But who may abide the day of his coming?

and who shall stand when he appeareth? for

he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers'

soap:

Mal. 3:2

Refiner means: “one who proves or

tests.”

Our Lord Jesus is Our Refiner’s Fire!

Through the fiery test of His heart-

searching truth revealed to us in His

Word, Jesus prepares the sinner's heart

to be His temple.

Therefore, we must study the

Scriptures daily in order for our

refining process to be complete:

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman

that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the

word of truth.” – 2 Tim. 2:15

282

280 Rewarder

But without faith [it is] impossible to please

[him]: for he that cometh to God must believe

that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them

that diligently seek him.

Heb. 11:6

A rewarder is: “one who pays

wages.”

Jesus is Our Rewarder because He

paid the wages for our sins with His

shed blood:

“For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God

[is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Rom. 6:23

Therefore, if we believe in Him, we

will be rewarded with eternal life!

283

281 Riches of His Glory

And that he might make known the riches of

his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he

had afore prepared unto glory,

Rom. 9:23

The definition of riches is: “the

fullness of God’s perfections.”

Jesus fulfills all of Our Father’s plans

for us to abide in perfect harmony with

Him.

284

282 Righteous

My little children, these things write I unto

you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we

have an advocate with the Father, Jesus

Christ the righteous:

1 John 2:1

Righteous in this Scripture means:

“one who is upright, virtuous, keeping

the commands of God; innocent,

faultless, guiltless; approved of or

acceptable of God.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

IS . . . The Righteous!

285

283 Righteous Judge

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of

righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous

judge, shall give me at that day: and not to

me only, but unto all them also that love his

appearing.

2 Tim. 4:8

The title “Righteous Judge” is used for

a person: “whose way of thinking,

feeling, and acting is wholly conformed

to the will of God, and who therefore,

needs no modification in his heart.”

The Only One worthy of such a title as

a Righteous Judge is Jesus Christ, Our

Savior.

286

284 Righteous Servant

He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and]

shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my

righteous servant justify many; for he shall

bear their iniquities.

Is. 53:11

A Righteous Servant is defined as:

“one who is justified and vindicated

by God.”

Jesus did bear our iniquities (sins) by

His death on the cross.

However, on the third day following

Jesus’ death, Our Father vindicated

His Righteous Servant through His

resurrection!

287

285 Rivers of Water in a Dry

Place

And a man shall be as an hiding place from

the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as

rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow

of a great rock in a weary land.

Is. 32:2

The word “rivers” in this Scripture is

defined as: “a channel or canal.”

Jesus is Our Rivers of Water Who will

create a channel through the dry,

barren places in our lives—and bring

in living water to replenish our souls:

“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

John 7:38

288

286 Rock

And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for

they drank of that spiritual Rock that

followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

1 Cor. 10:4

Rock is defined as: “strength of soul.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

Our Rock and The Strength of our

souls!!!

289

287 Rock of My Salvation

The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock;

and exalted be the God of the rock of my

salvation.

2 Sam. 22:47

Salvation in this Scripture means:

“deliverance.”

Jesus is the Rock of our Deliverance!

Our belief in Him will be our salvation

and our escape from an eternity in

hell.

290

288 Rock of Offence

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of

offence, [even to them] which stumble at the

word, being disobedient: whereunto also they

were appointed.

1 Pet. 2:8

A “rock of offence” is: “a stumbling

block or a rock which makes people

fall.”

Those who do not believe in the

gospel of Christ will find all sorts of

stumbling blocks in their path . . . just

as God intended.

291

289 Rod

And there shall come forth a rod out of the

stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of

his roots:

Is. 11:1

Jesse was the father of David.

Therefore, Jesus was a Rod or a direct

descendent of Jesse:

“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,

which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it

shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be

glorious.” - Is. 11:10

292

290 Root of David

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep

not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the

Root of David, hath prevailed to open the

book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Rev. 5:5

Root in this Scripture means: “an

offspring or child.”

Jesus Christ is the Root of David; He

is a direct descendent of King David

from the tribe of Judah.

293

291 Ruler in Israel

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou

be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet]

out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that

is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth

[have been] from of old, from everlasting.

Mic. 5:2

Jesus was anointed by God to be the

Supreme Ruler of His chosen nation

Israel.

All believers are now natural

“citizens” of God’s nation:

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and

foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the

household of God;”

Eph 2:19

294

292 Sacrifice

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved

us, and hath given himself for us an offering

and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling

savour.

Eph. 5:2

Sacrifice means: “a sin-offering or a

victim for sin; a sacrificial act in

which the blood of an animal was

poured out to God as an atonement for

sin.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was

Our Supreme Sacrifice because His

blood was shed for our sins!!!

295

293 Sanctuary

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in

the mountain of thine inheritance, [in] the

place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for

thee to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O Lord,

[which] thy hands have established.

Ex. 15:17

A “Sanctuary” is a holy place.

Jesus is Our Holy Sanctuary where

we can always find a safe haven.

296

294 Savior

For unto you is born this day in the city of

David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Luke 2:11

Savior is defined as: “deliverer or

preserver.”

Christ the Lord is Our Savior!

Only He can deliver and preserve our

souls from the eternal consequences of

our sins.

297

295 Savior of All Men

For therefore we both labour and suffer

reproach, because we trust in the

living God, who is the Saviour of all men,

specially of those that believe.

1 Tim. 4:10

There is only ONE Savior for “All

Men.”

The Gospel of Our Savior Jesus Christ

is adequate to save all people, but it is

only effective in saving those who

come to Him by faith.

Therefore, ALL MEN have been

purchased by His blood.

However, salvation is only actually

given to those that believe in Him.

298

296 Savior of the World

And we have seen and do testify that the

Father sent the Son [to be] the

Saviour of the world.

1 John 4:14

God intended for all men to have

salvation through Jesus Christ Who

died for the sins of the world:

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for

ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole

world.” – 1 John 2:2

And it is the command of all believers

to TESTIFY about Our Savior to the

rest of the world:

“And he commanded us to preach unto the people,

and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to

be the Judge of quick and dead.”

Acts 10:42

299

297 Sceptre

I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold

him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out

of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of

Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab,

and destroy all the children of Sheth.

Num. 24:17

A “scepter” is: “a staff or rod; a

symbol of leadership as well as

protection.”

Jesus is Our Scepter!

He has all the power to rule and to

protect:

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art]

with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

Ps. 23:4

300

298 Second Man

The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second

man [is] the Lord from heaven.

1 Cor. 15:47

The “second man” is Our Lord Jesus

Christ.

He came down from heaven to save us

from the sins inherited by the “first

man,” Adam.

301

299 Secret

And the angel of the LORD said unto him,

Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it

[is] secret?

Jud. 13:18

Secret in this Scripture means:

“something which appears

supernatural; something that is

wonderful, incomprehensible,

extraordinary.”

Jesus is Our Wonderful Savior!!!

Jesus is Our Incomprehensible

Lord!!!

Jesus is Our Extraordinary Friend!!!

302

300 Seed

Now to Abraham and his seed were the

promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as

of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,

which is Christ.

Gal. 3:16

God made promises of a nation to

Abraham and his descendants.

However, His promise of a Blessing

comes to every nation through faith in

only one of Abraham’s “seed” . . .

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

303

301 Separate From Sinners

For such an high priest became us, [who is]

holy, harmless, undefiled,

separate from sinners, and made higher

than the heavens;

Heb. 7:26

Jesus was the only Human born

without sin:

“For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no

sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in

him.” – 2 Cor. 5:21

Therefore, although Jesus lived among

mankind—He was separated from us

due to His sinless nature.

304

302 Servant

But made himself of no reputation, and took

upon him the form of a servant, and was

made in the likeness of men:

Phil. 2:7

Servant is defined as: “one who gives

himself up to another's will.”

Jesus became God’s Servant and only

carried out the will of His Father:

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:

and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own

will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.”

John 5:30

305

303 Shepherd and Bishop of Your

Souls

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now

returned unto the

Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

1 Pet. 2:25

The title Bishop is defined as:

“guardian or superintendent.”

In the New Testament, bishops were

appointed to watch over and safeguard

the interest of the church.

Christ is our Divine Guardian and

Bishop, Who watches over our very

souls.

He provides supervision, direction,

protection, and defense through His

Holy Spirit.

And He will lead us to eternal

salvation.

306

304 Shepherd of Israel

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that

leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest

[between] the cherubims, shine forth.

Ps. 80:1

Jesus was sent by God to be the Great

Shepherd of His wayward flock, the

nation of Israel.

Only He can lead us back to Our

Father’s glory when we sin.

307

305 Shepherd Seeking Out His

Flock

As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the

day that he is among his sheep that are

scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and

will deliver them out of all places where they

have been scattered in the cloudy and dark

day.

Ezek. 34:12

As any Good Shepherd, Our Lord and

Savior Jesus searches for all of His

sheep who are lost. He will not rest until every one of us

that was hidden during the dark and

cloudy days of our lives is found!

308

306 Shield of Faith

Above all, taking the shield of faith,

wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the

fiery darts of the wicked.

Eph. 6:16

The “shield” used in this Scripture

was a large, oblong, four cornered

shield which covered the whole body

of the Roman soldier.

One of the definitions for faith is: “a

strong and welcome conviction or

belief that Jesus is the Messiah,

through whom we obtain eternal

salvation in the kingdom of God.”

When we profess our belief in Our

Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He

becomes Our Shield of Faith!

This most important piece of “armor”

is needed to withstand the fiery darts

(attacks) of Satan.

309

307 Shiloh

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor

a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh

come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of

the people [be].

Gen. 49:10

Jesus is referred to as “Shiloh;” this

name means: “He whose right it is.”

Our Savior established His authority

as the Son of God and His right to rule

God’s kingdom on earth as in Heaven:

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All

power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”

Matt. 28:18

310

308 Sign

And Simeon blessed them, and said unto

Mary his mother, Behold, this [child] is set

for the fall and rising again of many in

Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken

against;

Luke 2:34

Jesus is a Blessed Sign from God of

the wonders which are to come to

those who believe in Him.

He will help us to rise again and

again whenever we fall!

However, non-believers will

repeatedly speak against Him.

311

309 Smitten of God

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried

our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken,

smitten of God, and afflicted.

Is. 53:4

Smitten means: “to slay or kill.”

Jesus was purposely smitten or slain

for our sins . . . by His Own Father!!!

“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him

up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely

give us all things?” – Rom. 8:32

312

310 Son

And we have seen and do testify that the

Father sent the Son [to be] the

Saviour of the world.

1 John 4:14

God sent His Son to be Our Savior.

What an Unspeakable Gift!!!

313

311 Son of David

And when Jesus departed thence, two blind

men followed him, crying, and saying, [Thou]

Son of David, have mercy on us.

Matt. 9:27

“Son of David” was a title used to

signify that David was an ancestor of

Jesus.

Jesus was an actual descendant of

David through his mother, Mary,

(whose father Heli was in the line of

David).

Thus God's promise about the heritage

of the Messiah was fulfilled:

“Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has

visited and redeemed his people. He has sent us a

mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant

David,” - Luke 1:68-69 (NLT)

314

312 Son of God

And, behold, they cried out, saying, What

have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of

God? art thou come hither to torment us

before the time?

Matt. 8:29

“Son of God” is the distinctive title of

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

By His divine nature, Jesus Christ is

the True Son of the Living God . . .

and even the demons knew His real

identity!

315

313 Son of Joseph

Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him,

We have found him, of whom Moses in the

law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of

Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

John 1:45

“Son of Joseph” is a title used in the

New Testament to recognize Joseph as

Christ’s earthly father (although Mary

was actually His blood relative).

He was an example of extraordinary

faith, belief and obedience:

“Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of

the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn

son: and he called his name JESUS.”

Matt. 1:24-25

316

314 Son of Man

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea

Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying,

Whom do men say that I the Son of man

am?

Matt. 16:13

Jesus refers to Himself as Son of man

to indicate His essential unity with

mankind and His purpose:

“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered

unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for

many.” – Matt. 18:11

317

315 Son of Mary

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the

brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and

Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?

And they were offended at him.

Mark 6:3

Jesus entered into the world as a

human through His mother Mary:

“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for

thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou

shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,

and shalt call his name JESUS.” – Matt. 1:30-31

But, because He had a human birth,

people resented the fact that Jesus

presented Himself as the Son of God.

318

316 Son of the Blessed

But he held his peace, and answered nothing.

Again the high priest asked him, and said

unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the

Blessed?

Mark 14:61

“The Blessed” refers to Our Father

God . . . so Jesus is the Son of the

Blessed!

Therefore, this title is another

reference to Jesus as the Son of God.

319

317 Son of the Father

Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from

God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus

Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and

love.

2 John 1:3

The title “Son of the Father”

acknowledges that Jesus is indeed the

Son of Our Father God.

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with

you from God the Father and from His

Son!

320

318 Son of the Highest

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son

of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give

unto him the throne of his father David:

Luke 1:32

The “Highest” refers to “the Most

High God.”

The angel is informing Mary that her

Child will be given a kingdom and

shall be called the Son of the Most

High God!

321

319 Son of the Living God

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,

the Son of the living God.

Matt. 16:16

Jesus is the Son of a Living God!

He is not the Son of a marble statue or

a lifeless image that cannot see, hear,

feel, or think.

322

320 Spiritual Drink

And did all drink the same spiritual drink:

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that

followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

1 Cor. 10:4

Jesus Christ was present with Israel in

the wilderness and even provided for

their most vital need which was water:

“Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness,

[wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and

drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee

forth water out of the rock of flint;” - Deut. 8:15

Therefore, as He was with them, Jesus

shall also be with us . . . providing all

believers with the refreshing

“Spiritual Drink” of His goodness

and mercy.

323

321 Stone of Israel

But his bow abode in strength, and the arms

of his hands were made strong by the hands

of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence

[is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)

Gen. 49:24

The term “stone” in this Scripture

means: “strength, firmness, solidity.”

Jesus is the Stone of Israel.

He is our strength when we are weak,

and His gospel is solid, firm and

everlasting.

324

322 Stone of Stumbling

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of

offence, [even to them] which stumble

at the word, being disobedient: whereunto

also they were appointed.

1 Pet. 2:8

Stumbling means: “a stumbling block

or an obstacle in the way which if one

strikes his foot against he stumbles or

falls.”

Jesus is a Stone of Stumbling . . .

meaning that those who refuse to build

on His Word, will instead stumble

over Him and fall into sin.

325

323 Sun of Righteousness

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun

of righteousness arise with healing in his

wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as

calves of the stall.

Mal. 4:2

When Our Lord and Savior, the Sun

of Righteousness shines, we need no

other light or warmth.

His “rays” will bring healing, joy and

wholeness.

326

324 Sure and Steadfast

Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the

soul, both sure and stedfast, and which

entereth into that within the veil;

Heb. 6:19

Sure and steadfast means: “that

which can be relied on; constant,

unshaken.”

Jesus can always be relied on.

He is steadfast, unshaken,

EVERLASTING!

327

325 Sure Foundation

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I

lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried

stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure

foundation: he that believeth shall not make

haste.

Is. 28:16

A “sure foundation” is a solid

foundation—secure and stable.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

the “Sure Foundation” of our faith.

The phrase make haste means: “to be

ashamed.”

We can build everything on the sure,

secure and stable love of Our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ without fear or

shame . . . because He will never ever

fail us!!!

328

326 Surety

By so much was Jesus made a Surety of a

better testament.

Heb 7:22

Surety is defined as: “a bail or

personal guarantee.”

Jesus paid our “bail” with His blood.

He is Our Surety and Personal

Guarantee of eternal salvation!

329

327 Sweetsmelling Savor

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved

us, and hath given himself for us an offering

and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling

savour.

Eph. 5:2

“Sweetsmelling” in this Scripture is

defined as: “a thing well pleasing to

God.”

The life and ministry of Christ was

well-pleasing to His Father:

“For he received from God the Father honour and

glory, when there came such a voice to him from

the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in

whom I am well pleased.” – 2 Pet. 1:17

330

328 Sword of the Spirit

And take the helmet of salvation, and the

sword of the Spirit, which is the word of

God:

Eph. 6:17

The “sword of the Spirit” is a

doubled-edged sword used by the

Roman soldiers to both protect and to

defend.

Jesus, the Word of God, is Our Sword

against evil forces which try to destroy

us:

“I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have

known him [that is] from the beginning. I have

written unto you, young men, because ye are

strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye

have overcome the wicked one.” – 1 John 2:14

331

329 Testator

For where a testament [is], there must also of

necessity be the death of the testator.

Heb. 9:16

A “testator” is: “one who makes a

testament (or covenant).”

However, he who makes a covenant

does so at the expense of a life.

Jesus, Who is the Mediator of a new

covenant . . . is The One Whose death

was necessary.

Therefore, He is Our Precious

Testator!

332

330 That Man Whom HE Hath

Ordained

Because he hath appointed a day, in the

which he will judge the world in

righteousness by [that] man whom he hath

ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance

unto all [men], in that he hath raised him

from the dead.

Acts 17:31

Jesus was Ordained or “appointed”

by Our Father to judge all men.

Therefore, we must keep in mind that

someday we all will have to stand

before the judgment seat of Christ and

explain our actions.

333

331 That which Was From the

Beginning

That which was from the beginning, which

we have heard, which we have seen with our

eyes, which we have looked upon, and our

hands have handled, of the Word of life;

1 John 1:1

Jesus is the Second Person of the

Trinity. Therefore, He existed at the

beginning of time—before the world

was even created:

“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine

own self with the glory which I had with thee

before the world was.” – John 17:5

334

332 That Worthy Name

Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by

the which ye are called?

Jam. 2:7

Listed below are all the definitions for

the term “worthy:”

“beautiful, excellent, eminent,

choice, surpassing, precious,

useful, suitable commendable,

admirable, good, excellent in its

nature and characteristics, and

therefore well adapted to its ends;

genuine, approved, competent,

able, praiseworthy, noble,

beautiful by reason of purity of

heart and life, morally good,

honorable, conferring honor,

affecting the mind agreeably,

comforting and confirming.”

How “Worthy” is the NAME of

Jesus!!!

335

333 The Arm of the Lord

Who hath believed our report? and to whom

is the arm of the LORD revealed?

Is. 53:1

The "arm of the Lord" refers to the

second person in the trinity, Our Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ.

Another definition for arm is “strength or

power; a helper or companion.”

Jesus is the Power of God, sent to battle the

forces of darkness which seek to destroy us.

He is also Our Helper and Companion—

guiding us by His Holy Spirit through the

traps and pitfalls set by Satan.

Therefore, when we ask “to whom is

the Arm of the LORD revealed?” . . .

we are, in fact, asking . . . “who is it

that receives the strength, power and

help of Jesus Christ?”

And the answer is: all those who believe in

Him!

336

334 The Bread Which Came Down

From Heaven

The Jews then murmured at him, because he

said, I am the bread which came down from

heaven.

John 6:41

Jesus is the Spiritual Bread sent from

heaven by God to feed our souls.

The reason the Jews were offended

was because Jesus claimed His origin

to be from heaven.

They had heard of angels coming

down from heaven, but never of a

man.

However, they blatantly overlooked

the proofs (miracles) Jesus had given

them of His being more than just a

man.

337

335 The Door

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he

shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and

find pasture.

John 10:9

The "Door" is the name of “Him who

brings salvation to those who follow

His guidance.”

Our Lord and Savior is the only One

who can bring salvation to us.

Therefore, Jesus Christ is the only

Door or way into the kingdom of the

Most High God.

338

336 The End

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and

the end, the first and the last.

Rev. 22:13

“The End” does not refer to the end of

the world. In Greek, the word “end”

in this Scripture means: “the

termination or the limit at which a

thing ceases to be.” Or in other words,

the end of a person's life.

The end also means “toll or

customs.”

Therefore, Our Lord and Savior is

stating that after we die, He is the

“toll” we all must pay before entering

into the eternal kingdom of God.

Trusting in His holy name and being

obedient to His Word —will guarantee

our everlasting salvation:

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same

shall be saved.” - Matt. 24:13

339

337 The Glory in the Midst

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall

of fire round about, and will be

the glory in the midst of her.

Zech. 2:5

Glory in this Scripture means:

“majesty or splendor.”

Our Glorious Majestic Savior Christ

Jesus was sent by Our Father God to

reside in the midst of us forever.

340

338 The Just

But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and

desired a murderer to be granted unto you;

Acts 3:14

“The Just” is a term used of a person

whose way of thinking, feeling and

acting is: “wholly conformed to the

will of God, and who therefore needs

no alteration in his heart or life.”

This description can only be applied to

just One Person . . . Our Just Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ.

341

339 The King in His Beauty

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty:

they shall behold the land that is very far off.

Is. 33:17

The term “beauty” in this Scripture

means: “splendor or brightness.”

The greatest glory of reaching

heaven—will be to see our Splendid,

Beautiful Savior Jesus Christ in His

magnificent kingdom!

342

340 The Life

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the

truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the

Father, but by me.

John 14:6

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

“The Life!”

The only way we can come to Our

Father God and have eternal life . . . is

in and through Christ.

343

341 The Man Christ Jesus

For [there is] one God, and one mediator

between God and men, the man Christ

Jesus;

1 Tim. 2:5

Jesus Christ became a Man in order to

dwell with us on earth and be our

Intercessor or Mediator with Our

Father God:

“And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,

and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better

things than [that of] Abel.” – Heb. 12:24

344

342 The Resurrection

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection,

and the life: he that believeth in me, though

he were dead, yet shall he live:

John 11:25

Resurrection means: “a rising from

the dead.”

Belief in Christ will assure us eternal

life by “a rising from the death” of

our flesh bodies.

345

343 The Rock That is Higher Than I

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee,

when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to

the rock [that] is higher than I.

Ps. 61:2

Although trials and tribulations in our

lives can appear as great rocks

looming over us, we must stop and

imagine an even “Higher Rock” . . .

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

He is Great enough and Powerful

enough to overcome even the most

overwhelming of our problems!

346

344 The Same Yesterday, and

Today and Forever

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day,

and for ever.

Heb. 13:8

Jesus has an unchanging nature,

steadfast and unmovable.

He is the same Christ today—as He

was at the beginning of time.

And He will be the same Christ

tomorrow and forever . . . as He is

today!

347

345 The Tree of Life

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the

Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that

overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of

life, which is in the midst of the paradise of

God.

Rev. 2:17

Jesus is “Our Tree of Life!”

Those who partake of His Precious

Body shall have everlasting life:

“And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and said,

“Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you:

this do in remembrance of me.”

1 Cor. 11:24

348

346 The Truth

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,

and the life: no man cometh unto the

Father, but by me.

John 14:6

The word “truth” in this Scripture is

defined as: “what is true in any matter

under consideration.”

Jesus IS . . . The Truth!

There is nothing false in Him. His

words, thoughts, statements, and

actions are always true—no matter

what the circumstances may be.

349

347 The Veil

By a new and living way, which he hath

consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to

say, his flesh;

Heb. 10:20

A veil is defined as: “a curtain or

covering.”

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

Our Veil!

His precious blood covers us . . . so

that our sins are hidden from God.

350

348 The Way

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,

and the life: no man cometh unto the

Father, but by me.

John 14:6

The definition of the way is: “a

manner of thinking, feeling or

deciding.”

We have to decide whether or not to

follow Christ.

He is THE ONLY WAY to eternal

salvation!

Other ways may seem right—but they

can only lead to the way of death.

351

349 The Wisdom of God

But unto them which are called, both Jews

and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the

wisdom of God.

1 Cor. 1:24

The Greek word for “wisdom”

means: “supreme intelligence, such

as belongs to God; or the knowledge

and practice of the basics for godly

and upright living.”

God's wisdom is not man's wisdom

multiplied to the highest degree; it is

of a different order altogether.

Only Jesus Christ could be the

“Wisdom of God.”

He alone possesses this wisdom—

because only He knows the true mind

of God and can communicate this

knowledge to us.

352

350 The Word

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word

was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1

The Greek definition for Word is

“logos” meaning: the personal

wisdom and power of God.

The Word was the power that set the

world in perfect order and gave it

perfect peace.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is

“The Word!”

He is Logos . . . the personal wisdom

and power of God.

Faith in Christ will keep our inner

world (our soul) in perfect peace when

the outside world around us is in total

chaos:

“Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose]

mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in

thee.” – Is. 23:6

353

351 True Bread from Heaven

Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I

say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread

from heaven; but my Father giveth you the

true bread from heaven. John 6:32

Jesus is the “True Bread” from

heaven that you must feast on to have

life.

Only He can satisfy your spiritual

hunger!

354

352 True Light

[That] was the true Light, which lighteth

every man that cometh into the world.

John 1:9

Christ enlightens every man that

comes into the world with His gospel

of love and forgiveness.

Our True Light dispels the darkness

due to our sins.

355

353 True Vine

I am the true vine, and my Father is the

husbandman.

John 15:1

Jesus is the “True Vine” . . . planted

by God!

False vines (false prophets) were

neither planted nor cultivated by Our

Father.

Therefore, they are not capable of

giving life to their branches.

356

354 Undefiled

For such an high priest became us, [who is]

holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from

sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Heb. 7:26

Undefiled means: “free from sin.”

Only Our Holy Undefiled Savior, free

from all sin, could atone for all the

sins of man.

357

355 Unspeakable Gift

Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.

2 Cor. 9:15

Unspeakable in this Scripture is

defined as: “indescribable.”

Our Father God gave us a Present that

is beyond description . . . His Beloved

Son Jesus Christ, Our Precious

Unspeakable Gift!!!

358

356 Upholder of All Things

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the

express image of his person, and upholding all

things by the word of his power, when he had by

himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand

of the Majesty on high;

Heb. 1:3

The word upholding in his Scripture

means “maintaining.” Therefore, the “Upholder” would be

the One Who Maintains (preserves,

continues, or sustains). In His earthly ministry Jesus

constantly demonstrated the power of

His Word. He could heal, forgive, cast

out demons, and calm nature’s fury

just by speaking. Thus, His word is so powerful that it

can uphold all things!

359

357 Very Christ

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say

nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed

that this is the very Christ?

John 7:26

In this chapter, Jesus is speaking to his

enemies and the people are astonished

at His boldness.

His courage and complete lack of fear

lets everyone know that without a

doubt . . . HE IS THE VERY

CHRIST that the rulers sought to kill!

360

358

Wall of Fire

For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall

of fire round about, and will be the glory in

the midst of her.

Zech. 2:5

Our Lord and Savior Our Wall of

Fire” . . . which cannot be climbed,

nor broken through, nor tunneled

under.

Therefore, we never have any reason

to fear our enemies when Jesus Christ

is “round about!”

361

359 Which is, Which was, Which

is to come

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and

the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and

which was, and which is to come, the

Almighty.

Rev. 1:8

This Scripture reveals that Jesus is

ETERNAL!

He is . . . Which Is . . . present during

the life of each and every human

being!

He was . . . Which Was . . . present

before mankind was created!

And He will be . . . Which Is To Come

. . . reigning over the earth after the

“physical” death of every one!

362

360 Whom God Hath Raised Up

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed

the pains of death: because it was not

possible that he should be holden of it.

Acts 2:24

Jesus was sent by God to be put to

death in order to save mankind from

an eternal death.

However, Our Father never intended

for His Son to remain among the dead.

Therefore, Jesus was “The One

Whom God Raised Up” after His

death.

This means that He was resurrected

and returned to His former glory,

which He possessed before the world

began.

363

361 Whom They Have Pierced

And I will pour upon the house of David, and

upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit

of grace and of supplications: and they shall

look upon me whom they have pierced, and

they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth

for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness

for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his]

firstborn.

Zec. 12:10

“Whom They Have Pierced” is not

only a description of Our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ —but also, how

He was crucified.

His head was pierced with thorns, His

hands and feet were pierced with nails,

and a spear pierced His side.

364

362 Wonderful

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is

given: and the government shall be upon his

shoulder: and his name shall be called

Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The

everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Is. 9:6

The title Wonderful means:

“admirable or distinguished.”

Jesus is Our Admirable and

Distinguished Savior . . . and Worthy

to be praised!

365

363 Word of God

And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped

in blood: and his name is called

The Word of God.

Rev. 19:13

The essential “Word of God” is Jesus

Christ.

He alone is not only the personal

Wisdom and Power of God—but He is

also the Intermediate Agent by which

God communicates with man.

366

364 Word of Life

That which was from the beginning, which we

have heard, which we have seen with our

eyes, which we have looked upon, and our

hands have handled, of the Word of life;

1 John 1:1

Jesus is the “Word of Life” . . . the

Living Word . . . the Word of God

which gives us life:

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the

life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

John 14:6

367

365 Young Child

When they had heard the king, they

departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in

the east, went before them, till it came and stood

over where the young child was.

Matt. 2:9

Jesus had to enter this world as a

human in order to save us from our

sins.

And although He was a Young Child,

innocent and fragile, His life was still

threatened by men who were afraid of

His power.
