sermon: A Son Is Given
Insight From Jesus' Names
Richard T. Ritenbaugh
Given 22-Dec-07; Tape #860
Description: Richard Ritenbaugh, reflecting on the frenetic activity supposedly honoring the birth of Jesus, contends that it has nothing to do with His actual birth. A preponderance of evidence indicates that Jesus Christ was born after the fall harvest. The reasons for His incarnation are revealed in His names. The names of God reveal His character and attributes, and so also with Jesus. The name Jesus means "Yah will save (or redeem)" His people from their sins; Immanuel means "God with us"; Christ means the "Anointed One"; Logos means "the Word" embodying God's message, reflecting perfectly God's character; Lord denotes our Master, totally owning us through His sacrifice and redemptive work, reigning over us until He turns everything over to the Father; Son of God highlights His divine descent or origin; and Son of Man emphasizes His human descent or origin. He was every bit as human as we are, except that He had God's Spirit without measure. (72 minutes)
