The Name


     The name of Jesus holds great power. As believers, we hold His name in the highest regard, with worship and praise. Others use it in derision and to cuss or swear at something or someone. Little do they know what they are doing. Jesus is our Savior. Mary accepted the truth about Jesus when the angel shared the news. She was the one. The one to carry the Messiah as her baby. Her words have been put to song. They are a beautiful example of praise and honor to our God.

And Mary said, “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me-holy is His name. His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. Luke 1:46-50

     Holy is His name. Let us glorify the Lord with our words and actions and believe Him just as Mary did so long ago.

Jesus,

We honor and glorify You and Your name.  Keep us close and bold as we proclaim the good news of Your birth, Your death and Your resurrection.

Amen
