Jesus
“And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people
from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
“JESUS” is a precious name to all believers because it reminds us that He is the Savior. It was the name given to Him by God when He came into this world. It teaches us the purpose of His incarnation. It is His human name reminding us that He who is God is also man.
Peter made much of this name in the healing of the crippled beggar in Acts chapter 3, and when questioned about it, boldly declared, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
It is to that name that everyone will bow in a coming day. “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth” (Philippians 2:10).
How wonderful that we have come to know and love that name here and now, and that it is the most real and blessed name that we have ever known and ever will know for all eternity … the wonderful name of JESUS!
