Recently, my Sunday School teacher shared what I thought was a very interesting bit of information about what the Lord is called throughout the books of the Bible. I’m not sure where she got the information, so I can’t give credit to the original author. Since I had not heard this quite this way before, I thought that you might not have either, and I decided to send it your way. This week, we will take a look at the Old Testament.
In Genesis, Jesus is the Ram at Abraham’s altar.
In Exodus, He is the Passover Lamb.
In Leviticus, He is the High Priest.
In Numbers, He is the Cloud by day and the Pillar of Fire by night.
In Deuteronomy, He is the City of our refuge, and
in Joshua, he is the Scarlet Thread out Rahab’s window.
In Judges, He is our Judge.
In Ruth, He is our Kinsman Redeemer.
In 1st and 2nd Samuel, He is our Trusted Prophet, and in
Kings and Chronicles, He’s our Reigning King.
In Ezra, He is our Faithful Scribe.
In Nehemiah, He is the Rebuilder of everything that is broken.
And in Esther, He is the Mordecai sitting faithful at the gate.
In Job, He’s our Redeemer that ever liveth.
In Psalms, He is my Shepherd and I shall not want.
In Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, He is our Wisdom.
And in the Song of Solomon, He is the Beautiful Bridegroom.
In Isaiah, He is the Suffering Servant.
In Jeremiah and Lamentations, it is Jesus that is the Weeping Prophet, and
In Daniel, He is the Fourth Man in the midst of a fiery furnace.
In Hosea, He is my Love that is forever faithful.
In Joel, He baptizes us with the Holy Spirit.
In Amos, He is our Burden Bearer.
In Obadiah, our Savior, and in
Jonah, He is the Great Foreign Missionary that takes the Word of God into all of the world.
In Micah, He is the Messenger with beautiful feet.
In Nahum, He is the Avenger.
In Habakkuk, He is the Watchman that is ever praying for revival.
In Zephaniah, He is the Lord Mighty to save.
In Haggai, He is the Restorer of our lost heritage.
In Zechariah, He is our Fountain.
And in Malachi, He is the Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings.
