“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
Jesus.
I recently heard one of my favorite worship songs and I could not believe the sense of gratitude that washed over me just by hearing the name of Jesus.
Jesus.
The one name that is greater than all other names. The name that tells the story of God’s love. The name that tells a story of our salvation. The name that tells the story of unconditional, undying, eternal love. The name of Jesus.
I realize that as time goes by, as youth fades away more and more, God graces His people with new insight, new wisdom about who He is and what He did to reconcile us to Him. Jesus was the answer to everything from the very beginning.
Truly, I’m in awe sometimes when I think about the price Love paid to set me free, to win my heart, to save my life. Jesus.
What a beautiful name it is. What a glorious, powerful, beautiful name it is. Jesus.
Everytime I say it, I feel like something moves. Something bows. Something aligns. Something breaks. Something lifts.
Jesus. Our brother. Our savior. Our redeemer. Our truest friend. Jesus.
The son of Man who gave His life, who surrendered His back to endure the heavy stripes for my sins. The son of Man who conquered death to give me eternal life. The son of Man who brought heaven to earth to prove His love for me. The son of Man who did what no man ever could, what no man ever will. The name that changed all of history.
Jesus.
At times we get too caught up simply using His name to pray and bring our supplications to the Father. Yet we don’t say the name enough.
Jesus. The sweetest name of all.
Aren’t you so thankful for the name of Jesus?
