“to know him” the name and titles of jesus “names”
TRANSCRIPT
Goals of this Study
Understand what Names are&
their function and use in scripture& thus
understand the context of the Name and Titles of Jesus
Names today, perform two broad functions:
1) A label2) An identity
Consider:
- The base piece of “unique” data in our “people categorisation system”
- The first thing we share when we meet
- We hang everything we come to know about that person on their name
Their Name becomes their identity and reputation
2) Your Character
3) Your Behaviour
And define Your NAME
1) Starts with your Birth
And thus your Memory and Memorial
Together these make an Identity
Key ONE
