One Name
12/9/2018

At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. Philippians 2:10

 

Cleopatra, Galileo, Shakespeare, Elvis, Pelé. They are all so well known that they need only one name to be recognized. They have remained prominent in history because of who they were and what they did. But there is another name that stands far above these or any other name!

 

Before the Son of God was born into this world, the angel told Mary and Joseph to name Him Jesus because "he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21), and "he . . . will be called the Son of the Most High" (Luke 1:32). Jesus didn't come as a celebrity but as a servant who humbled Himself and died on the cross so that anyone who receives Him can be forgiven and freed from the power of sin.

 

The apostle Paul wrote, "God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:9--11).

 

In our times of greatest joy and our deepest need, the name we cling to is Jesus. He will never leave us, and His love will not fail.

 

Jesus, You are the name above all names, our Savior and Lord. We lift our praise to You as we celebrate Your presence and power in our lives today.

 

Jesus Christ is not valued at all until He is valued above all. 

~Augustine
