There are many things in a name, but our culture and time cherish names less than ever. I believe it is important to understand the power of the name of Jesus.
One worship song stands out for me when it comes to His name. These words are powerful and true.
What a Beautiful Name
By Hillsong
What a wonderful Name it is
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus Christ my King
What a wonderful Name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful Name it is
The Name of Jesus
Death could not hold You
The veil tore before You
You silenced the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring
The praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
You have no rival
You have no equal
Now and forever, God You reign
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names…
The lyrics of this song stick out to me because they point to who our savior is and the power He holds. It is strong and true, God given and humanity changing, mind altering and heart softening, that is our God.
Philippians 2:10 NLT
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Acts 3:6 NLT
But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!”
Acts 4:12 NTL
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”
Romans 10:13 NLT
For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
His name is powerful. God entrusted to His son the biggest and best, salvation and strength, passion and compassion, life and lover. Jesus holds all those things, and Jesus is our savior.
His name is more than we will every know!
