His Name

“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is His name, and what is His Son’s name, if thou canst tell?” (Proverbs 30:4).

If we notice the beginning of this chapter it is, “The words of Agur the son of Jakeh.” He raises a very interesting question as to the name of God’s Son, to which he himself never got the answer. Later Isaiah gives us some further revelation. “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel … . And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6). Then in Matthew the angel says to Joseph, “Thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).

Today, we do not have to wonder what His name is. We know Him as the Lord Jesus Christ. His name and person have been fully revealed in His coming into the world as a man and giving Himself for us on the cross. What a name! What a Savior!
