The Name of Jesus

HOW HE OBTAINED HIS NAME

BEFORE we go further in the study of the Name of Jesus, it would be well for us to know something of the Man, see His standing in heaven, His achievements in the Plan of Redemption and the glory and honour that belongs to Him today as He sits at the Right Hand of the Majesty on High.

Let us turn to Hebrews 1:1-4:

“God having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, (a message here and a message there), hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in His Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, through Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the effulgence of His glory, and the very image of His substance, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High; having become by so much better than the angels, as He hath inherited a more excellent Name than they.”

God spoke through men of old by special illumination of their minds but in these last days, He speaks unto us in the Person of His Son.
It is more than through Him; it is more than by Him; it is God manifest in the flesh, carrying out His will, speaking His own inner thoughts in the life and acts of the Son.
Not only did He speak through Jesus but more especially was God manifest in the Son-it was God in Christ, and from this new Throne, the Body of His Son, He is speaking to man in a new revelation of Himself.

To this Son Whom He appointed heir of all things and Who being the outshining of His very glory and the very image of His substance and upholding all things by the Word of His power when He had made a substitution for sins when He had satisfied every claim of justice and met every need of man, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High-the highest seat in the universe.

When God speaks through man, He must absolutely take possession of the man so the man will not use his reasoning faculties.
But in the case of Jesus, it was not possession, it was the Eternal Son Himself.
He could say, “Father, give Me the glory I had with Thee before the worlds were.”
He remembered His place in the Father’s bosom.

He could say, “I came out from the Father. I came into the world.”
Again, “I leave the world, and go unto the Father.”

“Have I been so long time with you and dost Thou not know Me? He that hath seen Me bath seen the Father.” He was the revelation of the Father. He did not have to imitate God-He was God!
