The Name above every name : JESUS
Celebrating the Name of Jesus: 3rd January, 2017
Phil 2: 1-11; Lk 2: 21-24
There was a moment when Peter looked at a lame man who begged at the temple gate, 'In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk" (Acts 3:6,16) - that was the first moment of realisation as to how powerful a name we have been gifted with! Jesus - the most beautiful and powerful name on earth and heaven, name above every other name, a name that would bring peace and solace to the disturbed and fear and trembling to the evil minded (Acts 4:17).
Celebrating the name of Jesus can bring us three messages to remember:
1. Jesus is the name that revealed God to us (Jn 1:18)
2. Jesus is the name given to the entire love of God shared with humanity
3. Jesus is the name in which we have received the power to call God Abba Father!
