Recently, as I have been preparing to teach on Bible Overview: The New Testament at School of the Word Canada, I came across a message by the late Oral Roberts entitled "The Fourth Man." I was deeply encouraged by his summary of all the names by which the Lord Jesus Christ is mentioned throughout the Scriptures. Listed are those names from all 66 books of the Bible as Oral shared them many years ago:
