Name above Every Other

 (ID: 2989)

When we hear the name of Jesus Christ, we might think of “Jesus” as His first name and “Christ” as His surname. But what we call Him bears meaning beyond identification, Alistair Begg explains; it indicates the ministry He exercises. Jesus fulfills the role of a prophet, the office of a priest, and the rule of a king. When we call Him Savior, we call Him by the name that is above every other.
