Most of us assume that if Jesus had a driver’s license, his listed name would be “Jesus Christ.”

 

That’s kind of funny, but as usual, our puny human perceptions can’t define Him and box Him in. The Bible tells us in fact that Jesus has many names, each a shining facet of Who He is.

 

He is called the Alpha and Omega—the beginning and the end. Elsewhere He is referred to as the Prince of Peace.

 

Romans 10:13 says, “For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”

 

His names are a reminder to us that the Lord is everywhere, aware of everything, and equipped to handle any situation or challenge in our lives. From the image of a warrior king, to a counselor who listens to us, Jesus is able to meet all our needs.

 

Won’t you call on Him today?

 

Let’s pray.

 

Lord, you are wonderful to us, the perfect landing place for our souls. Thank you for that. Amen.
