The two most popular titles or names Christians use in speaking of our Lord are Jesus, a translation of the Hebrew word Joshua, which means "Yahweh Is Salvation", and Christ, a translation of the Greek term Christos, meaning "Anointed One" or "Messiah".
    Also used quite often are Good Shepherd, meaning "Provider and Caretaker", found in John 10:11; Lamb of God, meaning "Gave His life as a sacrifice on our behalf"; and Savior, meaning "Delivers from sin and death".
    Following are some other significant names or titles for Christ used in the New Testament. Each title expresses a distinct truth about Jesus and His relationship to believers.
