A Christian man was walking up and down the station platform one day, when he heard another man swearing and taking God’s name in vain. The Christian began to hum quietly the hymn, “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.”
The other man listened; his swearing ceased. Soon he came to the Christian and said, “Sir, I apologize! I’m sorry that I took the Lord’s name in vain. If Jesus is the Lover of your soul, as He was of my mother’s, I know how you must feel toward Him. I’ll not take His holy name in vain again.”
“God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,... and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Phil. 2:9-119Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9‑11).)
