Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: . . . [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; . . . [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
We are told that Jesus has been given “a name that is above every name”. What name is it? JESUS! At the mention of that simple name —
Live’s have been altered; — Fevered brows have cooled; — Blinded eyes have opened; — Deaf ears have unstopped; — Sin’s shackles have fallen away; — Night has turned to day; — Defeat has been swallowed up in victory; — Hope has replaced defeat; — Dead men have come to life; — Lost men have been found; — Devils have trembled; — Sinners have broken; — Saints have shouted; — Angels have bowed;
The Name Jesus is the sweetest Name ever to fall upon human ears. That Name is a cause for celebration in Heaven.
That Name is what changed my life, opened my eyes and saved my soul. There’s Just Something About That Name.

“If you could own all the world and it's money, — Build castles tall enough to reach the sky above; — If you could know everything there was to know about life's game, — Yet you've known nothing until you've known God and His love.
“Until you've known the loving hand that reaches down to a fallen man — And lifts him up from out of sin where he has trod; — Until you've known just how it feels to know that God is really real; — Then you've known nothing until you've known the love of God.
“If in your lifetime you could meet ev'rybody — And you could call every name from here to yon; — But if you've not come face to face with Jesus and His saving grace, — Then you've known no one until you've known God and His love.”
