There is no greater power than the name of Jesus. Whisper his name and the storms in your soul will cease. Say it at work with awe and reverence and heads will turn. One day the name will be spoken by all who ever lived as knees will bow under the weight of His glorious presence.
Every voice will utter His Son's name regardless if they loved or hated Him. Romans 14:11 says, "For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God" (KJV). And in Isaiah 45:22, "Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear."
History was forever changed, at the angel's announcement, "she will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21, NIV).
No other time in the old testament history was the name of Jesus revealed though there are many prophecies of a coming Savior. Jesus fully God and man, without sin, walked dusty roads, ate, slept and did His Father's work.
Why is this so important?
Because whenever we say the name of Jesus we know He identifies with us having experience everything we go through in our lives. Hebrews 4:15 says, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet he did not sin" (NIV).
Beloved, say the name of Jesus, when you are weary. Jesus is rest to your soul. When you hold the hand of one dying, say His name aloud. Jesus brings life! When you are shopping knowing there is so little money left, call out the name of Jesus. Jesus is the Bread of Life.
There is only one name above other all other names with no greater power than the name of Jesus!
