HIS PRECIOUS AND BEAUTIFUL NAME

“Wherefore also God hath 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 KJV

Jean Perry wrote one of my favorite hymns “I Know of a Name”.  What a loving and compassionate Saviour we are privileged to know.  I love these words in this hymn.  “The One of that name, my Savior became, My Savior of Calvary.  My sins nailed Him there; my burdens He bare.  He suffered all this for me.”

Jesus didn’t suffer and die because of something He did because He never sinned, not one time.  He suffered, bled and died because of our sins.  What an amazing unconditional and forgiving love Jesus has for you and for me and He hung on the cross ridiculed, cursed and beaten beyond all recognition for us.

I have said this many times and I will keep saying it until Jesus comes back for us or God calls me home.  Nobody loves you like Jesus loves you and nobody ever will.  He loves you unconditionally and He will love you forever!  O how He loves you.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!

God really appreciates pastors, missionaries, Sunday school teachers, musicians and all those who are serving His beloved Son.  If you are a parent you know how happy it makes you when someone is kind to your children, it also makes our Heavenly Father happy when we are kind to His Son.
