Name Above All Names 1, Welcome and Introduction

Hello Dear Friends...
This month we’d like to focus the lenses of our faith upon Jesus. He is at the center of Scripture, the message of truth, the heartbeat of God’s heart, the celebration of worship, the glory of heaven’s light.
Every name that has been given to Him gives us a deeper insight into who He is, what He does, and why He came.
Let’s face it, if God hadn’t given us the gift of His Son we’d be empty, regardless of how many gifts we might open; we’d be in darkness, no matter how many lights decorated our house; we’d be joyless, even though a multitude were to wish us a Merry Christmas!
We would like to encourage you to share these postings with your family day by day throughout the month as you gather around the table.
Blessings and joy to your world.
May Jesus truly be the difference—and make a difference this Christmas and in the New Year.

Name Above All Names 1

God elevated him [Jesus] to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names (Philippians 2:9 NLT).

There is no one like Jesus! His name is above all names. On His throne He reigns over all creation—His kingdom above all kingdoms. There is no other light we can look upon that will outshine His glory.

In Jesus Christ we hear all that God has to say to us. What God has planned for us and desires to give to us is found in Christ alone. All our hearts have ever needed or desired, the truth that we seek and the blessing we long for, is found in Him. There is no other person, no other source that God will use to meet our deepest needs.

Jesus is the Fountain that will quench our thirst, the Bread that nourishes our souls. As the Physician, He will heal our wounds, and as our Shepherd He guides our steps. Jesus is the Faithful One who can give our troubled hearts true security. As our Vine, He brings nourishment to our spirits; as our Door, He gives us access to the Father.

What love we have in Jesus! What a Savior for our souls, what a gift to our hearts!

May our hearts be open to receive Him, may our faith be ready to trust Him, and may our wills be surrendered to obey Him. As we commit our feet to follow Him, our hands to serve Him, and our actions and attitudes to honor Him, our lives become a reflection of His. May our voices magnify Him, both now and forever.
