God [Gk Theos]: Used of our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:23; John 1:1; 20:28.
I Am: Used of the Lord Jesus Christ in John 8:58 [ cf Exodus 3:14].
Lord: [Gk Kurios & Despotes. Aramaic Rabboni]. Used many times of the Lord Jesus Christ in the New Testament, especially in Pauls epistles.
Messiah: The Greek transliteration of the Hebrew Mashiah. Means Anointed. Used 2 times of the Lord Jesus Christ [John 1:41 and 4:25].
Christ: [To anoint]
Jesus: [Iesous from the Hebrew Jehoshua, meaning [the] Salvation of Jehovah, or Jehovah [the] Savior.
The name Jesus expresses the relation of Jehovah to Him in incarnation, by which He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross [Philippians 2:8]; who, being God, did not deem His glory a thing not to be relinquished. [See note on Philippians 2:6 robbery.] The name Jesus is the name associated with the shame which He endured in order to save His people from their sins [Matthew 1:21]. His people therefore never address Him as Jesus, but always as Master or Lord [John 13:13, 14; Luke 6:46] and so should all His people today; not following the example of demons [Matthew 8:29; Acts 19:13-15], or of His enemies, who irreverently called Him Jesus.
Jesus Christ: In the Gospels it means Jesus the Messiah. In the epistles it means Jesus who humbled Himself but is now exalted and glorified as Christ.
Christ Jesus: Denotes the now exalted One, who once humbled Himself.
Christ the Lord: The anointed of Jehovah.
Master: Called Master by His disciples.
The Son of God: Expresses the relation of the Son to the Father.
The Son of Man: Denotes our Lords relationship to the earth and so to Israel.
The Son of Abraham: Expresses the relation of the Son of man, as being heir to the land given to Abraham.
The Son of David: Expresses the relation of the Son of man, as being heir to Davids throne.
How is the Lord Jesus Christ presented [generally] in Christendom today? Most often He is identified by His Name of shame and humiliation, Jesus. Rarely is the Lord Jesus Christ given His wonderful title Lord by ministers, hymn writers, commentators or professed believers. Take note of this!
Our wonderful Lord is presented to world on a crucifix hanging there in death in a blatant display of no resurrection. Do you know that there is no salvation without the resurrection? The god of this age [Satan] is delighted by this presentation of our Lord Jesus Christ. So we see myriads of crucifixes hanging from a chain around the necks of so many who profess to be believers.
During the time that Christendom celebrates Christmas [Christ Mass] our exalted Lord is presented as a helpless baby in a crib. The authority figures in the nativity scene are His parents, Joseph and Mary. At other times our exalted Lord is shown as a baby in Marys arms. I recall visiting the Church of the Nativity in Israel and finding a plastic Baby Jesus portraying our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is no longer a baby in His Mothers arms. He is the exalted, risen Lord of [the] Glory as presented in Pauls letters. Paul even writes in 2 Corinthians 5:16:
Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, YET NOW HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE. That is, after the flesh. We now know Him as the risen, exalted LORD Jesus Christ.
We are to present the [risen and exalted] LORD Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world Acts 16:31. After a person is saved he/she is pray in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20.
Sir Robert Anderson tells the story of listening to Dr. A. Pierson speaking in old Exeter Hall. After the sermon, Sir Robert said, your words meant much to me, but why do you name the Lord of Glory after the manner of the vagabond Jews and demons of Acts 19? Dr. Pierson said, blame it on my evil theological training. The next evening, after the sermon, Dr. Pierson turned to Sir Robert and said, Didnt I do better tonight?
