This is the Man

This Is the Man

It is this Being Who has given us the right to use His Name. In Ephesians 1:17 we find a prayer by Paul-a most unusual prayer. He prays that the Father will open the eyes of our understanding that we may know something of the riches of the Father’s inheritance in us, and then, that our eyes may be opened so that we may see what is the exceeding greatness of His power on our behalf who believe.

He declares it is according to the working of the strength of God’s might which was wrought in the dead body of Jesus when He raised Him from among the dead; and when He raised Him and made Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion; and every name that is named not only in this age but in that which is to come; and He gave Him to be Head over all things for the benefit of His Church, which is His Body-the fullness of Him that filleth all things in all.

He not only Inherited a more excellent Name than any other being in the universe-God not only Gave Him a Name before which every being in the three worlds shall bow and confess His Lordship-but here, God has given to Him a Name which is above every name, and He has seated Him in the highest place in the universe, and has made Him Head over all things.

The Wonderful Name of Jesus
