#72 “Understanding the Power in the Name of Jesus”

(What about Jesus’ Name?) Pt.1

““Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son,

and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,

God with us”

[Exodus 3:13-14]

English Standard Version (ESV) 

In our last lesson we learned the importance of the name you were given and how it is connected to your destiny and purpose. We even covered some of the meanings of God’s Names, and why we should never take His or anyone else name in vain. Now let’s take a look at The Name of Jesus, which is where we were headed in the first place.  You will recall that we discussed that our name are the collective representation of our characteristics and attributes as a person. Just like The Father, His Son has numerous names which, who Jesus is. 

The very first name He was called was the; “Seed” (Gen. 3:15 – “I will put And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” In Zach 6:12 calls Him “the Branch” – “We have a man here whose name is Branch. He will branch out from where he is and build the Temple of God. Yes, he’s the one. He’ll build the Temple of God. Then he’ll assume the role of royalty, take his place on the throne and rule—a priest sitting on the throne!—showing that king and priest can coexist in harmony.” This name one that I find interesting because Jesus has now made us the branches, “I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.” When we become one with Jesus we become as He is. 

Most of us are familiar with the name, “Emmanuel—God with us” because it is so prevalent during the Christmas Season. “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” Matthew 1:22  You did notice  of course that Mary and Joseph did not choose the name for “Jesus” God did; this is what the angel Gabriel was telling Mary, “God wants you to name this child ‘Emmanuel’ because He will be God on earth with man.”  It was important that God gave Jesus’ name because first He was His Father and second because this would ensure that His name would speak to who He was and what He would be…“Savior of the world.” This was his mission and purpose while here on earth, “He will save His people from their sins,” Do you realize that just like Jesus you and I have been given a name which speaks what we will do in this earth? Call her name “Mardina” for she will “Teach my people, Keep the sacred Word of God while helping the lost”

Let’s look at some more of Jesus Names:

v  Bread of Life – “And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)

v  Water of Life – “Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37)

v  The Way the Truth and The Life – “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6) 

That’s all for tonight but tomorrow we will go further into the meaning of the Name of Jesus, please make sure to continue reading.  

My Prayer: Heavenly Father, oh what a blessing to know that we are called by name, that we are Your spoken word.  Father we decree that we will not return unto you void or empty of our assigned purpose. We too just like Jesus want to be able to say, “Father I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. ⁵ And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” John 17:1-5 we want to finish our work here on earth, and bring glory to Your Name. Thank You for giving us a destiny and purpose now fulfill it in us, We pray these things in the power and authority of Jesus name. Amen!!!

 

Have A Bless Day…Go in God’s Peace!
