Terms for Jesus
What do we do with the different terms used to explain the identity of Jesus? One obvious thing we do is we use them all the time. We often talk about Jesus as “savior,” “redeemer,” or “sacrifice.” We use these terms assuming our hearers know what we mean by them and we use them because we’re comfortable that they each explain at least a part of who Jesus is. In that, they’re good terms and we can be helped and help others by using them.
