In Matthew 1:21 Joseph, in a dream, was told by an angel,
"...And you shall call His name Jesus."
In Luke 1:31, Mary was told by the angel Gabriel,
"...Call His name Jesus."

JESUS!

Today I am just overwhelmed by His precious name! And what that name
is to Believers. My heart just wants to sing out, Jesus! And this we often
do in our Fellowship time of worship. And so I do now, please join me.

Jesus, name above all names,
Beautiful Savior, glorious Lord,
Emanuel, God is with us,
Blessed Redeemer.
Living Word.

And,
The name of Jesus is so sweet
I love its music to repeat.
It makes my joy full and complete,
The precious name of Jesus.
Jesus, oh how sweet the name,
Jesus, everyday the same,
Jesus, let all saints proclaim
His worthy praise forever!

Our Lord Jesus Christ has very many names in the Scriptures, they describe
who He is. To find them offers a challenging search and a wonderful
opportunity to know Him in a greater measure. I will share only a few
passages to hopefully whet our appetite to search deeper into the
Scriptures.

The Old Testament prophecy in Isaiah 9:6 reveals Jesus' awesomeness in the
names given to Him! And we all know this verse.
"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

"'Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call
His name Immanuel,' which translated, 'God with us.'" Matthew 1:23

In Philippians 2:9-11 we see God's heart concerning Jesus' name,
"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is
above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those
in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father."

"Then Jesus said to them again, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door
of the sheep'...
...'I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved,
and will go in and out and find pasture.'" John 10:7 and 9

We see another name for Jesus in the benediction at the end of Hebrews,
"Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead,
that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in
you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory
forever and ever. Amen." 13:20-21

Jesus speaking in John 15:1,
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser."

Jesus: The Way, The Truth and The Life. In His final discourse to His
disciples and in answer to Thomas's question,
"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

As you search, remember His name and who He is are one. I would suggest that
there are a multitude names given to Christ Jesus, the Lord!
I don't have the space here, but do sing out the worship song,
"His Name is Wonderful", for it truly is in every sense of the word.

Thank you Father for Jesus, our glorious Savior; the King of kings and Lord
of lords. We love and adore you Most Holy God. Amen
