Who dat is my shorthand for “Who is that?”

Although the precise difference between a ‘name’ and a ‘title’ may be open to interpretation, 198 different names and titles of Jesus in the Bible are listed in Cruden’s Concordance, first published in 1737. Found via Google search.

Listing all those names and titles will not gain us much here.

John 12:34 English Standard Version (ESV) So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”

The names and titles for Jesus in the bible held specific meaning and identities based on who is reading, what they are reading, what they have been taught, what they believe and their own needs.

Know that Christ dwells in our hearts. The spirit of truth will correct error in our minds, if we are willing to listen and discover how to listen with our hearts rather than our intellect. Paul’s exhortation to renew our minds in Romans 12:2 is directed at correcting errors in thinking. It is one thing to think we know Christ and another to discover the Christ that dwells in our hearts.

Using these new spiritual ears and eyes is an adjustment. It is the way to receive truth from He who is truth. When we read about Jesus in the bible and our thinking is in error, correction of error comes from our hearts by use of those spiritual ears and eyes. If we have not learned how to perceive with them, renewing the mind becomes a more difficult task. Not impossible, just more difficult.

As was written before, reasoning with God is all about correcting error. That cannot happen if we turn a deaf ear to God. We must trust God, hear God and accept correction.
