Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, and Immanuel. 7. THE SERVICE NAMES OF CHRIST Jesus came not to be served but to serve. As a result, many of His names and titles emphasize His qualities of service. He is the Creator and Sustainer of life. Several names describe Him as the teacher and sovereign of mankind. And then of course there are those names which focus on how He assists us in living the victorious Christian life. 8. THE SONSHIP NAMES OF CHRIST Jesus delighted to call God His Father, and so, it is not surprising there are at least nineteen sonship names of Jesus. Three are particularly important when it comes to understanding who Jesus is. He called Himself "Son of Man," but He was also the Son of God and the only begotten Son. 9. THE GODHEAD NAMES OF CHRIST Several names and titles of Jesus express the uniqueness of His nature and have important theological implications in the study of Christology. These include the Image of God, the Firstborn, the Beloved, the Alpha and Omega, and the Logos (Word). 10. THE JEHOVISTIC TITLES OF CHRIST The name Jehovah was so revered by the Jews that they never uttered it. It was the name of the One who introduced Himself to Moses as I AM THAT I AM. The proof that Jesus was Jehovah is the fact that He used that divine title in eight ways in the Gospel of John. 11. THE. CHURCH NAMES OF CHRIST Jesus promised He would build His church, and so, one would expect to find Him closely identified with that church. Several names of Christ have special significance in that they reveal His relation to His church. These titles include Bridegroom, Shepherd, Head, Vine, Stone, Temple, and Gardener. 12. THE APOCALYPTIC NAMES OF CHRIST The final book of the New Testament offers the fullest revelation of Jesus Christ in Scripture. It is not surprising, then, that John uses at least seventy-three different names of Jesus to describe important truths about Jesus. This chapter takes a closer look at several of the more significant names in the Revelation. APPENDIX: THE NAMES OF JESUS CHRIST IN SCRIPTURE 1. THE NAMES AND TITLES OF CHRIST IN SCRIPTURE 2.
