Quote for the day - Saturday 4 July 2009

"They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."
Revelations 12:11 (NIV)

What do a wedding feast and a Temple visit have in common? [Find out]

The Name.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (KJV)

Have you ever considered the significance of the name of Jesus? Indeed His full title is Jesus Christ. Most people just think that Christ is Jesus surname.

The name of Jesus Christ is a declaration of who He is and what He has accomplished. Take Isaiah 9:6 for example. Five clear truths are established about our Lord.

  1. Wonderful
  2. Counsellor
  3. The mighty God
  4. The everlasting Father
  5. The Prince of Peace

Take a while to meditate on the above five declarations about our Lord.

He is wonderful. This talks about His ability and desire to do amazing and incredible acts on our behalf.

He is our Counsellor, leading us and guiding us into depths of truth and love. He is the mighty God, the ever-present and all knowing. There is absolutely nothing impossible for Him.
He is the everlasting Father; to Him there is no end and no beginning.

He is the Prince of peace, bringing an instant halt to all the works of darkness and establishing peace within our hearts and souls.

Now, when Jesus came to earth God had to wrap all those powerful attributes and names into one powerful name. And guess what that name is - JESUS CHRIST

When you mention the name Jesus Christ you are calling upon all the names mentioned in Isaiah 9:6. The name of Jesus Christ is much higher than any other name on earth. Philippians says

Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NIV)

Anything that has a name bows to the name of Jesus Christ. Do you know that sickness has a name? Its name is sickness. Heart disease has a name: its name is heart disease. You could go on and on.
