Names
A women was going in for a Cesarean because her twins were over due, but the only one available to go in with her was her brother and he was quite a kidder.
The surgery was a success,
she now had to healthy babies,
a boy and a girl.
The mother, Ann, started to tell there nurse their names,
but the nurse said her brother had already told them the babies names.
Which made Ann concerned.
What did he say was the girls name?
Denise
Oh, she thought, that’s ok.
What did he name the boy?
De-nephew?
We looked last time at one of the names given to Jesus,
Emmanuel, which means what?
God with us
God with us,
what peace that can bring to know that
God is with us,
That He knows us,
as He says in Jeremiah
Those are encouraging words, that we can rely on because
Emanuel
God is with us,
if we are in His family.
So today we are going to look at some other names given to Jesus.
In Luke chapter 1, the angel Gabriel pays a visit to Zechariah who is a priest and he is taking a turn, replacing the incense to burn before the Lord in the temple.
The angel Gabriel told his that his wife Elizabeth would bear him a son.
Which sounded a little too hard to believe.
Because of his doubt, the only sign Zechariah was given was the inability to talk until his son John the Baptist was born.
Some months later but also in Luke chapter 1, the angel Gabriel visits Mary,
a virgin, formally engaged to Joseph in Nazareth.
the Angel comes in and says to Mary
Greetings, you who are highly favored!
The Lord is with you
Had Mary done anything to yet to warrant this greeting?
No, not that we know of,
nothing is said about
her faith,
her devotion to God
her great acts of charity.
If she had done anything exceptional in her life so far,
Well, it’s not mentioned in the Gospels.
All that we know is she was a virgin engaged to a man named Joseph.
The greeting conveys how she is seen in God’s eyes.
Highly Favored
This reminds me of Gideon's first greeting by an angel.
During the time of Judges,
Gideon, as you know was hiding out in a wine press pit, thrashing out grain.
Hoping the Midianites would not notice him and take the grain,
when the angel comes and greets Gideon, saying
Gideon has not done anything mighty yet, but God sees Gideon,
He sees people like you and me
as the people we can be in Him
Mary was highly favored.
If we could see our full potential in Him, I wounder what we kind of titles God would give to us,
I wonder what good things we can accomplish with Him in our lives, the rest of our lives.
Mary carried, bore and raise the savior of the world
Gideon became a mighty judge and warrior for God.
What about you and me?
I wonder what positive attributes we might be surprised to hear, from God.
Jesus Titles and work
This is Gabriel’s message to Mary. . . . .
Title: The Son of the Most High
That would be another way of saying,
the Son of God.
That is a title we often see given to Jesus.
He also Identified with the title Son of Man.
So that was his first title, now what will He do?
Reign
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
So he’s get’s David’s throne.
and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever;
How long did the angel say he will reign?
Forever
and just to make it clear the angel also said what?
his kingdom will never end.”
Almost all kingdom end because the king, the leader dies
But if the Son of God is the King,
He can reign forever
Today after 2,000 years,
the kingdom of God is alive but not fully in place
The Son is with the Father
awaiting the day to return
when His kingdom will be setup forever.
This scripture comes from Isaiah 9:6-7 and has much more to say about Jesus.
illus: birth Announcements almost never say what career the person will have, unless their a Royal.
The birth announcement in Isaiah was over 700 years before Jesus was born, and it talks all about him.
So lets break this down
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
That is not really a title for Jesus or a task but
why was this son given?
The Son was given, because God loves you and me
He knew we needed help to get back to a right relationship with Him.
We needed someone to pay our debt of sin and
Jesus, the Son of God, is the only one who could do that so
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given
