His names…

His Name: Redeemer

Light of the world. “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 (ESV)

We recognized Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr day this week. One of his well-known quotes: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”

Isn’t it amazing how that quote points to Jesus himself.

The Resurrection and the Life. “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” John 11:25 (ESV)

Redeemer. “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” Job 19:25 (ESV)

Even in the midst of the enemy attacking Job in all areas of his life and his very life and breath, Job still recognizes the Lord as “my Redeemer” who lives. He’s a living God.

His Name: Cornerstone

Cornerstone. Jesus as the cornerstone is seen in Psalm 118, Isaiah 28, several of the gospels and Ephesians 2.

“For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” Ephesians 2:18-22 (ESV)
