Name Above All Names

04/04/23 • 2 min

Today we’re unpacking a powerful message in Scripture that reminds us of the unparalleled authority and majesty of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:9–11 says, “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, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

This verse tells us God exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name. This is a testament to Jesus’ divine nature, and His unparalleled power and authority. No matter what challenges we face, there is strength and hope in the knowledge that Jesus is with us, and He has the power to overcome any obstacle.

God’s Word tells us that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord. This is a powerful call to action for all of us. It's an invitation to submit ourselves to the will of God, and to embrace the transformative power of faith in Jesus Christ.

We often find ourselves caught up in the daily grind, and we forget to take time to reflect on the deeper meaning of our existence. These verses remind us there is a greater purpose to our lives, and our ultimate goal is to glorify God in all that we do.

Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of your Son, Jesus. We praise your holy name, and pray that we glorify you with every breath we take, and every choice we make. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Resurrection Power

Today we’re talking about the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:18 says, “I am the Living One. I was dead, but look, I am alive forever. I have power over death and hell.” Jesus died on the cross and rose again three days later; even death could not overpower Him. The miracle of His resurrection is life-changing for believers now, and forever.

In John 11:25–26, Jesus said to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.” This means that through faith in Jesus, we too can have eternal life—even after physical death.

As believers, we have access to this resurrection power. This power is not only for the future, but also for the present. It gives us the ability to overcome any challenge or difficulty we face in life. We can have hope even in the midst of trials, because we know that Jesus has overcome death and has the power to give us victory. Nothing we experience in this life is truly the end—because our souls are eternal.

Whatever you face, remember that Jesus has the power to bring you out of it. Call on His name and believe in His resurrection power. Jesus is alive forever, and He brings life to any dead situation.

Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. Help us to always remember that we have access to this power and that through it, we can overcome any obstacle. Strengthen our faith and give us hope in every situation. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Saved By Jesus

Have you been saved by Jesus?

Salvation is the deliverance from sin and death that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus overcame sin and death, and gave us the opportunity to have eternal life.

Revelation 1:18 says, “I am the Living One. I was dead, but look, I am alive forever. I have power over death and hell.”

As believers, we can have confidence that our salvation is secure in Jesus Christ. No matter what happens during our temporary earthly lives, we can be sure of our eternal destiny. This knowledge gives us lasting peace, and hope that transcends our present circumstances.

The power of salvation also gives us, through God’s grace, the ability to overcome sin and withstand temptation. And by obedience to the Holy Spirit, we can daily try to live a life more like Jesus, and grow in our faith.

If you haven’t yet received the salvation that Jesus offers, we invite you to do so today. Simply believe in Him, ask forgiveness for your sins, and ask Him to be the Lord of your life. A personal relationship with Jesus is a gift that lasts for all eternity.

Let’s pray.

Dear Lord Jesus, we thank You for the power of salvation that comes through faith in You. Help us to live a life that is pleasing to You, and to share this message of hope with others. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
