A Special Good Friday Thread: The names and Titles of Christ (Devotional)

The Holy Scriptures | 4/14/17 | left that other site

This year, the Jewish Holiday of Passover and the Christian Observance of Holy Week coincided. This does not happen all the time, because the Jewish Calendar is based on the phases of the Moon rather than the earth's orbit around the Sun. Since I observe both holy days in my own way, I enjoy it immensely when they "line up".

Anyway, some time ago on FR, somebody posted this awesome list of the Bible's Names and Titles of Christ. Here it is again, to pause and meditate upon the meaning of each Title. It is, for me at least, a moving, spiritual devotion, and i would love to share it with you now:
