Themes: Jesus, Research, Christian Learning, Words & Titles, Descriptions of God, Challenge

Many of you have seen items in your Christian bookstore that tout the names of God, especially Christ. They are often found in books, bookmarkers, wall art and spiritual study tools. The picture above depicts one of his names: The Lion of Judah.

There are so many beautiful and descriptive titles that illuminate many facets of His Persona, His Position or His Attributes. With little effort and a short time of research, one able is to garner much information about Him and even fulfillments relating to prophecy.

I am familiar with quite a few of His Names but I came across one the other day that I’d never seen before. It piqued my interest and made me wonder about other names I’d like to discover or research. Some titles exude His Power and Presence (The Alpha and Omega) while others speak to His Great Gentleness (The Lamb of God). It is hard to say which are my favorites because I like many of them, but some have had special meaning to me because I can relate to them directly during a specific trial or circumstance in life.

For this swap, there are two parts, requiring three posts in total:

  1. You will post a comment below in our Swap Area relating to something about His Personality, His Position or His Attibutes that you love;

  2. Once partners are assigned, you will post TWO NAMES that are associated with Christ, from the Word of God TO YOUR PARTNERS' COMMENTS SECTIONS.

**Again, you will have a total of three –short- posts to make to complete this swap.

Regarding Part No. 1:

Carte blanche, you decide what you’d like to share.

Regarding Part No. 2:

I am encouraging us to find two names that we’ve never seen before to share them with our partners. There are endless websites and resources that will likely lead to you to find hundreds of names, you only need to find TWO that you are drawn to and would like to share with your partners.

Everyone is welcome from every walk of life; we can learn about Him together. Rated or unrated swappers, newbies not only welcomed but embraced. ;) However, you must have a well-filled out profile; otherwise you will be banned from participating.

Notation:

If your partner simply posts the two names to your comments section, the swap requirement is MET.

I just LOVE how He always pursues us and loves us even though we don't deserve His care and affection :) That is the beauty of His love for us!

I love that Jesus is a Rescuer. I can't quite recall i The Rescuer is a title or not, I'll have to look that up but I imagine so because of 1 Samuel 2:2. Reminds me - I love the title "The Strong Tower". That is one of my favs!

What a blessed idea! I do this list with all the children in VBS. At the end the week the class with the most names wins an extra prize bag!

CynthiaCelenne777 03/27/2014 #

That is too COOL Cauti. I love looking at the names, I just saw one the other day that I had never seen before: "His Unspeakable Gift". I knew there were a lot but while on-line, I saw a website that lists 200 of them. I never got a chance to look extensively but created this swap figuring we could all go hunting together. ;)

CynthiaCelenne777 03/27/2014 #

Oh, BTW. Cited the wrong scripture. The one I was thinking of is Proverbs 18:10.

Muslims have 99 names for God (Allah) and they do beautiful artwork to display them. I love Al Jami' or the Gatherer. It reminds me of Jesus the shepherd. Also Ad - dayyan, or the judge. Jesus will be the master of the day of judgment.

CynthiaCelenne777 03/28/2014 #

That is so cool, regarding name, kgeslab. I have seen the artwork and it is gorgeous! Arabic writing is beautiful and the calligraphic art is astounding. (I love the spoken language even more.) Inta habibi! *I can't remember if that is right. LOL.

Anyway, your comment about His being called The Gatherer reminds of Jesus - - - Matthew 13:24-29. ;)

I love God and I often cry, because I simply don't have the words to express HOW MUCH I truly love God.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.1 Peter 5:6-7

CynthiaCelenne777 03/31/2014 #

Tish, you are awesome! Wish there were more peeps like you! ;)

I love how He is our Abba Father and also our great provider.

lavendarcat 04/ 7/2014 #

I love how God is Emmanuel. God is with us, He isn't beyond our reach.

CynthiaCelenne777 04/ 7/2014 #

Love those! :)

Zoebolt 04/ 8/2014 #

Yahweh Shalom:“The Lord is Peace.” El Elyon: “The Most High God.”

Zoebolt 04/ 8/2014 #

I get it now. I did it wrong....lol

CynthiaCelenne777 04/ 8/2014 #

You didn't do it wrong, Zoe! LOL. You are too funny. You just have to post it to your two partner's COMMENTS section. :)

Love it. Feels like a Monday, doesn't it? Hehehe.

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 This name and Scripture blesses my heart, especially when I think no one is for me.
