There Is Something About That Name
God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. -Philippians 2:9-11
Every year, a celebrity becomes wildly popular in the media, but before we know it, that name fades into obscurity. Often we see the caption "Where Are They Now?"
Apparently all names have a shelf life. All but one. There is a name that will never fade: the name of Jesus is timeless and without rival. God has exalted Jesus, lifting His name above every name.
Does it seem as though the name of Jesus is being downplayed today? Are the name and fame of Jesus Christ fading? Absolutely not! We shouldn't think we need to "hashtag" or "favorite" the name of Jesus to keep His name relevant! That matter has been settled by God Himself. It is impossible to ignore the exalted name of Jesus. And one day all people will bow at the name of Jesus Chris, confessing Him as Lord.
Celebrities are forgotten.World leaders fade away. Once-famous names inscribed on graveyard headstones become unfamiliar to the living. Yet the eternal Lord Jesus has an eternal name.
Prayer : I love Your name, Jesus. I confess You as my Savior and Lord. As a Christian, I desire to honor Your name. Please use my life to glorify Your exalted, eternal name. Amen.
