| 0:00.0 | In the New Testament usage of this title, the Son of Man is a heavenly person who descends |
| 0:07.9 | from heaven to the earth, and he represents nothing less than the authority of God. |
| 0:21.2 | One of the beautiful ways that the Bible helps us understand who Jesus is and what he has done |
| 0:27.1 | is through all of the names and titles that have been given to him and the significance of their |
| 0:32.0 | meaning. Hi, I'm Nathan W. Bingham and thank you for joining us for the Saturday edition of |
| 0:37.2 | Renewing Your Mind. As R.C. Sproul continues painting this portrait of the biblical Christ, |
| 0:43.5 | having already surveyed the Bible, considered the Church's creeds and confessions. Today he hones |
| 0:49.9 | in on the names and titles given to Jesus and what they tell us about who he is. He is Dr. Sproul. |
| 0:57.4 | One of the fascinating elements with the Bible is the significance that is often attached to the use |

| 1:52.0 | day, the scholar who was invited was well known and everybody expected a very technical academic |
| 1:59.4 | discourse during his 45-minute address. And he surprised everybody by simply coming to the podium. |
| 2:09.9 | He opened up a piece of paper that had a long list on it. And as a litany, he began to recite |
| 2:18.0 | the names for Jesus that are found in Scripture. He just began to read from this list saying things like |
| 2:30.0 | Lord, Son of God, Son of Man, Son of David, a man you will, the Word, our champion, the rose of |
| 2:46.9 | Sharon, the lily of the valley. And he went on and on and on for 45 minutes before he exhausted |
| 2:58.0 | the number of names that are given to Jesus in the New Testament. And each one of these names, |
