names of God: Rabbi

names of God: Rabbi by ric gustafson


John 3:2- ' The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him Rabbi'


This name refers to God the Son. In this bible passage, Nicodemus who was a Pharisee has met Jesus for the first time. Out of respect, he calls Jesus Rabbi. Later, he will stand up for Jesus at his trial  and help prepare his body for burial. The word Rabbi means religious teacher and Jesus has had his teachings written about for two centuries. Along with being the Son of God, the Messiah and other names, Jesus is still the greatest teacher that has ever lived.
