Jesus, the name above all names
Today's devotion is based on Acts 2:21, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Some names can make you smile, laugh, and bathe in warm memories. Other names may have the power to make you wince and grow silent. That is how potent a name can be. That brings us to the most powerful name there is. When you and I take even a moment to meditate on the name of our Lord, his truth and beauty arise. There is his goodness, his justice, his mercy, his faithfulness, his power, his wisdom, his eternity, and his glory. And there is his grace, his undeserved love for you and me in Jesus Christ.
And that's why the name of our Lord is something more. The name of our Lord is not simply a trigger that delivers to my mind all the profound truths His Word has revealed. The name of the Lord is the name that saves my soul.
Please pray with me: Lord Jesus, by your Spirit, move me to call on your name every single day. Amen.
