The Name That Is Above Every Name

(Mt1:21; Php2:6-11)



God is holy.

His nature is holy, and

All that come from Him ” His Word, His Son, His name and the Holy Spirit ” are holy.



Faith is acknowledging this, and

The life of this faith is lifting Him up like no other.



Everyone who has a name wishes to

Have his name be above others, and

For that he puts every effort.



The Bible is a record of the holiness of the name of God:

"Holiness refers to being "set apart or "different for

His name is like no other, above every name.



Deceived to be like God

Adam sinned and was banished from the Garden (Ge3:6, 24).

This was due to the serpent, the devil,

The angel who attempted to lift himself above all other angels, because of which

He was cast down to Hades (Is14:12-15).



Nevertheless, God's work of revealing His name began

When He called Moses (Ex3:2-4).

"Jehovah was the name of God manifested by the angel,

The name Israel was to call from generation to generation (Ex3:15).

God commanded them to not misuse His name for

He will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name (Ex20:7) ”

Thus a name to be feared.



God commanded them to build the sanctuary for His name to be there (1Ki8:16), and

He forbid them from approaching it for

It was a place that set His name apart.



The Son of God came and His name is Yeshua (Mt1:21) ”

The Father's name that the Son came in (Jn17:11) and

The name to be called upon to be saved (Ac4:12; Rm10:10).



Yeshua said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn2:19), because

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body,

He would reveal and lift up the name Yeshua, and

As such, in His name He drove out demons which were something never done before (Mt9:32-34).



As He died, He said, "It is finished (Jn19:30), declaring that He:

1)     Lifted up the Father's name by lowering Himself to death (Php2:6-8);

2)     Condemned the devil who attempted to raise himself up (1Jn3:8); and

3)     Tore His flesh, the temple of His body, and gave the name of God to all men (He10:19-20).



Then the Father raised Him up and exalted Him to the highest place and

Gave Him the name that is above every name (Php2:9-11).



The Holy Spirit came and

The name Yeshua began to be spread across the world (Ac1:8),

Making His name more known than when He was alive in the world.



The man of the Spirit stands out

In the way he lifts up the name Yeshua in

Worship, praise, preaching, prayer, driving out demons and healing, and

Considers it an honor to be persecuted for His name (Ac5:41) for

The name Yeshua is above every name, and

Therefore he longs to be found with

The name written on his forehead when the Lord returns (Rev22:4).



O Lord,

Let my life be dedicated in

Bringing one more soul on his knees to confess Yeshua is Lord, and

Let me be found with the name Yeshua on my forehead for the world to see! Amen.
