The Names of Jesus
Meaning and significance of the various titles of Jesus.

Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
(NRSV Philippians 2:9-11)

Although all of these titles are attributed to the same person, Jesus of Nazareth, they have a
variety of different origins and meanings.
