Jesus, Name Above All Names! God highly exalted Him and gave Him the Name that is above every name, so that at the Name of Jesus every knee will bow--- and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.” ~ Philippians 2:9-11 There is nothing like the Name of Jesus, not on Earth, not in Heaven. It is in Him that we live; it is because of Him we will do it for eternity. By His blood we are forgiven; by His wounds we are healed. He is Lord. He is King. He is Friend. His Names, from being our “Redeemer” and “Prince of Peace” to being our “Indescribable Gift” and “Everlasting Father,” and the Scriptures that bring them to life. Let us close this calendar year Honoring Him who gave His life so that we may be one with Father and Son. “In Jesus Christ the Old and the New Testaments are alike… the two lens on a pair of binoculars that bring the image dose and into focus” ~ Roy Lessin Today we will focus on the Name of Jesus as “The Word,” as found in John 1… The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14 It has been said that the New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, and that in the New Testament the Old Testament is revealed. In the Old we see the beginning of all things, in the New we see the end of all things; in the Old we see types and shadows, in the New we see substance and fulfillment; in the Old we see law, in the New we see Grace; in the Old we see Mt. Sinai, in the New we see Mt. Calvary; in the Old we see the letter, in the New we see the Spirit. In the Old we hear the voice of the Prophets, in the New we hear the Voice of The Son. Together, the books tell one story. It is His story. It is the story of Redemption revealed in time and space, through real people and actual events. It is the story of The Redeemer and the redeemed. Jesus is the Establisher of the law and the Fulfiller of the Law; He is the Message of Prophecy and the Fulfillment of Prophecy; He is the Promised sin bearer and the One who gave His life for our sins. In Jesus Christ the Old and New Testaments are like two musical movements that come together to make one Glorious symphony…they are like the two lenses on a pair of binoculars that bring the image close and into focus…they are like the flame of two burning candles that come together to make one Glorious light.~ Roy Lessin
