The name Jesus

She will bring forth a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.
Matthew 1:21

The name Jesus
Jesus means “The LORD is Salvation”. With this name, the Son of God came into the world as a man. It is the name of our Saviour. Every person who believes in Him and is saved rejoices when they hear this name. Does it not awaken our love for Him, the one who has saved us?

This name also stood above His cross, where unbelieving people had taken Him in their hatred. The inscription of His accusation read: “This is Jesus the King of the Jews” (Matthew 27:37). In adoration, we bow our hearts before Him, who took our place in God’s judgment of sin on the cross and accomplished the work of our salvation.

With this name, after His death and resurrection He returned to heaven, from where we now await Him. “This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven”, said the angels to the apostles who witnessed His ascension (Acts 1:11).

As we wait for Him, we look up to heaven in faith. There, we see “Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour” (Hebrews 2:9). What joy for us that He – who was rejected here – is now seated in the heavenly place of honour at the right hand of God!

Today’s reading: Exodus 18:1-12 · Luke 8:1-8

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
