Philippians 2:9-10
“Therefore 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,“
Philippians 2:9-10 NIV
We can easily grow disheartened when we view the depravity and sin that surrounds us. Troubling events in our world may distress us but there is coming a day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Sometimes less is more. Today's scripture may be few in words, but the words used hold more than all the words mankind has ever uttered or even thought of.
There truly is no MORE-no greater name than the Name of Jesus.
There is no other name by which a sin soaked world is healed. There is no other name by which we can be saved. The Name of Jesus, there is no other Name which evokes such authority yet imparts such unspeakable love and mercy. The Name of Jesus is above all other names, above all principalities and above all powers.
The Name of Jesus, that precious Name, will forever be our banner... in battle, in victory, in sweet retreat, in triumph. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there is something about that name. When doubt or fear overwhelms you, just begin to speak the Name that is above every name the Name of Jesus. When we think of Jesus, our thoughts should be enormous, without boundaries inexhaustible, incomprehensible, unmatchable, and unfathomable.
The life of the Christian should reflect his Lord. The attitude of Jesus should be mirrored in the life of every believer, and yet His was a life of deep pain and intense suffering. His was a life of humiliation, rejection, betrayal, and death. But His life of humiliation and death preceded His glorious resurrection and exaltation. We too must share in His suffering, and die to self, if we are to live in newness of life and become a lovely reflection of the beautiful Lord Jesus.
