It is the same for getting to know Jesus. In the Scriptures, a person\u2019s name had great significance. It reflected that person\u2019s character\u2014telling a story about that person. That\u2019s why the names given to Jesus were so important. Each name of Jesus recorded in the Bible is a way through which we see Him more clearly and know Him better. And knowing Him better is essential so we can reflect His character to the world around us.
