| The Name of Jesus |
| How real and precious the name of Jesus is to every true believer who loves the Lord. |
| We have found that name sufficient for salvation: “For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). |
| We can echo the words of the bride, who said, “Because of the savor of Thy good ointments Thy name is as ointment poured forth” (Song of Solomon 1:3). |
| We have the privilege of meeting in that name: “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). |
| Frederick Whitfield (1829-1904), summed it up so well when he penned the following words, still sung by many today: |
There is a name we love to hear, We love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in our ear, The sweetest name on earth. |
Jesus! the name we love so well, The name we love to hear! No saint on earth its worth can tell, No heart conceive how dear. |
