Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I have always been fascinated by the speed at which conversations come to a halt or become completely uncomfortable and awkward when Jesus is mentioned. This is even true in the Christian community. For whatever reason, we shy away from talking about Jesus, but specifically about using His name in conversation. "Jesus" was not my favorite name for my beloved friend for the longest time. I would always use the term "Christ"when I spoke of Him. Then I watched The Passion of the Christ and found a deep love for the name "Jesus". Something about that name became so precious to my soul after watching that film and I'm not sure why. But enough of my sentiment. Jesus' name is power. It is obvious. It so quickly evokes emotions of all kinds from any person who hears it, Christian and non-Christian. That right there should be our proof of who He really is. Jesus Christ is Lord and every single soul on earth knows it. The choice is ours to accept Him or reject Him. How will you respond?
