The Name
“We will remember the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7).
“O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:3).
The name of Jesus is still despised, hated, and sneered at in this Christ-rejecting world. But for us who have come to know the preciousness of that name it is the most wonderful name that we have ever known and ever will know. We can say, like the bride in the Old Testament, “Because of the savour of Thy good ointments Thy name is as ointment poured forth” (Song of Solomon 1:3).
Then as we have that name before us in remembrance, praise, worship, and thanksgiving, we can go to the lost and tell them of the saving power of that name.We can gladly declare, “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). The more that name means to us the more we will want others to know the wonders of that name as well.
