The Name
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9).
Because of what the Lord Jesus did at the cross, He now occupies the place of highest honor at the right Hand of God. His name is unique, supreme, beyond compare, excelling all other names. It is the name that God delights in, and the greatest and most precious name in the universe. It is the most blessed name we have ever known or ever will know.
The bride in the Old Testament said, “Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth” (Song of Solomon 1:3). We read of Mary in the New Testament: “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment” (John 12:3).
What does that name mean to you today? In the measure in which that name is real and precious to our hearts there will be an overflow and outpouring of true worship.
