“Wherefore God has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:9-11)
His name is more than a household word. One song says, “Jesus is the sweetest name I know.” God gave Him the name “Jesus” before He was conceived in the womb of Mary. He would be called Jesus because He would save His people from their sins. We know Him as our Savior. He came into the world to save sinners.
Many a Christian has died with His name on their lips and they were repeating that name as they crossed over to the other side. Another song says, “Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus. Oh, how I love Jesus because He first loved me.”
Christians on every continent of the world lift their voices in joyful praise to that name above every name. Join in the great chorus of God’s people this coming Lord’s Day as followers of Jesus lift His name on high.
