Great names come and go, but the name of Jesus remains. The devil still hates it, the world still opposes it, but God still blesses it and we can still claim it! “In the name of Jesus”is the key that unlocks the door of prayer and the treasury of God’s grace. It’s the weapon that defeats the enemy and the motivation that compels our sacrifice and service. It’s the name that causes our hearts to rejoice and our lips to sing his praise. “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. . .and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”(Phil. 2: 10–11). “Hallowed be Your name”(Matt. 6: 9).
I found this book to be a wonderful guide through the names of Jesus. I have always been moved by focusing on Jesus's names, and I liked the approach this book uses. Recommend.
