The Name Above Every Name


Philippians 2:5-11 New Living Translation

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 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.


I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE NAME OF JESUS IS THE GREATEST NAME EVER UTTERED. MARY AND JOSEPH DID NOT GIVE JESUS HIS NAME.
IN MATTHEW 1:21 THE ANGEL SAID TO JOSEPH,
"AND YOU SHALL CALL HIS NAME JESUS: FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS."
