In the book of Philippians 2, verse 9, God has given Jesus a name that is above every name — that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow.
The world is not worried about Jesus any more. We kill ourselves trying to make a living, looking for peace of mind in pills, puffing for popularity, pushing our way to power.
But the name of Jesus can make the sick get well and make the foolish wise. It can change us from bad to good and from good to better. Some atheists said that God is dead. But Psalm 14, verse 1, said a fool has said there is no God. If God is dead who killed him? Where was he buried? Who signed his death certificate? Who preached his funeral? What newspaper carried his obituary?
God is as real to us like he was to Adam and Eve. When we call His name He will answer us. Only Jesus can call light out of darkness, order out of confusion. Jesus came from nowhere because there is nowhere for him to come from. Jesus stood on nothing because there is nothing for him to stand on.
Many of us call him Lord but do not do His will. There are four kinds of people in the world:
- People that call the name of the Lord but do not do His will.
- People that do the will of the Lord but do not call on his name.
- People that do not call on the name of the Lord and do not do His will.
- People that call on the name of the Lord and do his will.
Some people will worship someone or something, but only God deserves our worship. Jesus is the captain of conquerors, leaders of lawgivers, head of the heroes, oversear of the overcomers, our hope and help.
Jesus is the only doctor that heals multitudes with no medicine and never charges any money for his medical works. When Jesus was dying on the cross, one of the thieves on the cross told him if He was the son of God He should come down from the cross. But the greatest miracle for Jesus is not to come down from the cross, but his coming out of the grave.
When Jesus died the sun refused to shine. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb. Jesus stayed in the grave long enough to clean it out and leave it empty. No power in hell can hold Him down because He has got all power in his hands.
The devil cannot drown Him in water for Jesus will work on water. He cannot be blown away by wind for the storm obeys His will. He will never break the ten commandments for you will find no fault in Him. We cannot avoid Him for He is standing, knocking at the door of our hearts trying to get in.
At the name of Jesus, every rich and poor, old and young, black and white, knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord. Many of us promise to come to Jesus after we finish what we are doing, but we have nothing to do but to come to Jesus now.
We need to seek the Lord while He can be found. Many of us are loosing our health trying to make a living and use the money we make to buy our health back. When our bank account is low our blood pressure goes up. If the Lord is my Shepard, that is all I want. I shall not lack for rest for he maketh me to lie down in green pastures; I shall not lack for peace for he restoreth my soul; I shall not lack for comfort for his rod and his staff comforts me; l shall not lack for food for he prepareth a table for me in front of my enemies; I shall not lack for thirst for he leadeth me towards the path of still waters; l shall not lack for a security guard for He leadeth me through the valley of the shadow of death; I shall not lack for joy because my cup of joy is running over; I shall not lack for heaven because we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
That goes for you too. Peace be unto you. Hallelujah to the lamb of God… All Glory Belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ Always and forever…
