Jesus is the lion of Judah, the land of God, the prince of peace. that are given.

I remember several years ago there was a theological seminary in the

had scheduled a convocation on campus,

an academic convocation.

And they had invited a famous theologian to come in and give an address in the area of Christology.

This man was highly learned with all the right academic credentials.

And you have to understand that in a university or an academic institution,

a convocation is not a pep rally, it's not a chapel service, it's a very formal academic type of a gathering.

Where a renowned scholar will come in and give his latest research or his latest insights into a technical

problem related to scholarship.

And so when this gentleman arrived on the campus, all the students flocked into the hall where the convocation was being

held and the faculty was all there in full regalia and they were expecting him to

give a technical dissertation on some aspect of Jesus because he had told them in advance

that he would lecture in the field of Christology.

And he shocked everybody because he got up in front of the entire convocation.

And he said, here's what I want you to learn today about Jesus.

And instead of giving an address of analysis of biblical Christology, all he did for 45 minutes was stand there and recite one after

another all the titles that are found in the Bible for Jesus.

Without comment, without analysis, without interpretation.

He just stood up there and said, Jesus is the Christ. Lord. Son of David. Son of God.

The Lion of God. The Lion of Judah.

The Land of God.
