The Name of God


Part VII

That is Who I Am, Messiah Christ 

  Jesus again reveal his name to the Samaritan woman This is who ‘I Am’. Here Jesus says firmly ‘I Am the Messiah-Christ  John 4:25–26 (NJB): ‘I know that Messiah—that is, Christ—is coming; and when he comes he will explain everything.’ 26 Jesus said, ‘That is who I am, I who speak to you. Br Victor in talk said “Even the Samaritan woman had read the Bible and understood that the Messiah, Christ, would come into this world because she had read the Bible and pondered the verses in it."Now the Holy Spirit is revealing to us another name for Jesus, our Lord, the Messiah, Christ."  Jesus desires that he reveal his name to everybody. He is the Christ, the Messiah. The Israelites were expecting him. Jesus Christ is the One who will disclose the Kingdom of God, which has been hidden for many centuries.  John 1:40–42 (NJB): 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother and say to him, ‘We have found the Messiah’—which means the Christ— 42 and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, ‘You are Simon son of John; you are to be called Cephas’—which means Rock. In the book Revelation Jesus says in Revelation 22:12–13 (NJB): 12 Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay everyone as their deeds deserve. I am the Alpha and the Omega the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. In Jesus everything is fulfilled. There is nothing is hidden in Jesus and he likes our presence and he made us and taught us what we have to do and his teaching continues. Lord, come and abide in us!
