HIS NAME

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Wherefore God also 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 2:5-11

King James Version

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote one of my very favorite hymns “There’s Something About That Name”.  I love these words in this beautiful inspiring and heart touching hymn.  “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there's just something about that name. Master, Savior, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain; Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, But there's something about that name. Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, But there's something about that name.”

I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that there is no other name except Jesus that can fill our heart with joy and happiness and one happy day we will see our precious Saviour face to face when He comes back for us.  What a wonderful day of rejoicing and happiness that will be when we see the One Who loves us so much He died for us.

One day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord and He will finally get the praise that He deserves.  What a beautiful scene that is going to be when people bow their knee and admit that Jesus is Lord.  If ever someone deserves to be praised and adored, it is Jesus, the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS’.  Please join me in praising the One Who loves us so much He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him for your sins and for my sins. 

If you ever think no one loves you, remember the cross that Jesus died on for your sins because He loves you so much.  No one loves us like Jesus loves us and nobody ever will.  There is nothing you could ever do that would make Jesus stop loving you.  He loved you yesterday.  He loves you today and He will love you tomorrow.  You are very precious to Jesus.  He rejoices with you when you are happy and He weeps with you when you are sad.  He sits beside our bed and holds our hand when the night seems so long and tells us that He loves us.  What a Friend!  What a Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth!  O how I love Jesus and one day I am going to have the privilege of seeing Him face to face.
