THAT NAME- REDEEMER Philippians 2:9-11 “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 My acquaintance Kuwait is exploring the possibility of doing business in East Timor. This set off in me an interest to study about East Timor and also find out about their independence struggle etc. Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão, is their leader who fought for and brought them independence. “Xanana Gusmao”............there was something about this name that attracted me. Could have been the sound of it or the conviction and courage of this man to fight a relentless war of liberation. The name kept repeating in mind for days. This makes me think about another name—the name of Jesus, “the name which is above every name” (Phil. 2:9). A song reminds us why we love that name so much. He is “Master” and “Savior.” Yes, what depth of meaning there is in the names that describe our Lord! When we mention the great name of Jesus to those who need Him as Savior, we can remind them what He has done for us. Jesus is our Savior. He has redeemed us by His blood, and we can give our lives wholeheartedly to Him. Jesus. Let all heaven and earth—including us—proclaim His glorious name! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; There’s just something about that name! Master, Savoir, Jesus, Like the fragrance after the rain. Chiefest of sinners, Jesus will save; All He has promised, that will He do; Wash in the fountain opened for sin, “And I will pass, will pass over you.” THE MOST PRECIOUS NAME IS JESUS!
