The Name of Jesus

I was watching a video of a concert over the weekend that featured Maverick City Music and Torn Wells . They put two songs together back to back that absolutely blew me away . It was beautiful . It was wonderful and I knew I had to share it with you this morning . The two songs are written almost 50 years apart .

First one is there's Something About that Name , written by Bill and Gloria Gaither back in 1970 . The second one is All my Hope , written by David Crowder in 2017 . Both of these songs focus on one thing , one person , and that's Jesus .

The Bible teaches us that the name of Jesus is powerful , and that power does not come just from saying the word Jesus , but it's in what Jesus' name represents . It's the salvation and redemption of all humanity .

In Philippians 2 , verses 9-11 , it says Therefore , god has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name , so that , at the name of Jesus , every knee should bow . In heaven and on earth and under the earth , there is no name greater than Jesus .

God appointed His Son to be the greatest power this world has ever seen , so that everyone , every other name , every other person and being on this earth would have to bow down to him because he is greater than them all Over .

In Acts , chapter 4 and verse 12 , peter said Salvation is found in no one else , for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved . You see , that name of Jesus is the way to have a relationship with God . It is through him that we can actually have peace with God .

And then , throughout the Bible , there are numerous accounts of the miraculous power of Jesus' name . For example , in Acts , chapter 3 and verse 6 , peter heals a man who had been lame from birth by saying In the name of Jesus , christ of Nazareth , rise up and walk . So the name of Jesus is not just a word or even just a name .

It's when that name is connected with the person who he was , which was the Christ , the Messiah , the Savior of the world . So when we ask Jesus to save us , to heal us , to work in our lives . We're calling on the one who has the power to do what needs to be done , and that's what both of these songs today talk about .

There's something about that name , written by Bill and Gloria . The Agather is actually a very short song . It simply says Jesus , jesus , jesus . There's just something about that name . Kings and kingdoms will all pass away , but there's something about that name . Will all pass away , but there's something about that name .

It's one of those songs that never fails to move me when I hear it sung in a worshipful way . Then in David Crowder's song All my Hope , he says all my hope is in Jesus . Thank God that yesterday is gone , all my sins are forgiven and I've been washed by the blood .

So whatever you need today or you're going to face this week , if you need hope , you can find it in Jesus . If you need direction , you can find it in Jesus . If you need healing or peace with God or peace with others , the answer for all of those questions and all of those problems can come from Jesus .

You can pray to Him and talk to Him and he will speak to you . He will lead you , he will guide you . He will work in your life in miraculous and powerful ways , and these two songs today remind us how great and awesome Jesus really is . I'm going to leave you with just a clip of the second song , all my Hope .

It's being sung by Torin Wells , but if you click on the link in your show notes today , it will take you to the YouTube version , where these two songs come together in such a powerful fashion . I hope you'll take the time to watch it and be blessed by it , because I know it will speak to you . Have a great day , my friends . God bless y'all .

We will talk again tomorrow are forgiven .
