Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know
Jesus IS! The
most glorious thing about Jesus is He Lives. He is ever present! The most powerful and sweetest Name in all
the universe is Jesus, our Lord. Because
He Lives, I can face tomorrow for all fear is gone.

Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen
me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.” John 20:29. This believing is a part of faith and learning
to trust Him, every day, in every way.

The phrase, “In Jesus’ Name”, often amazes
me. In His name we receive daily blessings, sweet joy, and from His Word we
delight in the Lord as we receive nuggets of wisdom and riches.

Matthew
28:18 tells us how Jesus received God’s Power. Jesus
came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven
and on earth.
All authority – above all earthly principalities – is the power of Jesus. More
about this Sweet Jesus is found in John 1:2-4 and John 17:17-19. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through
him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone. – “Now I
am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world,
so they would be filled with my joy…Make them holy by your truth; teach them
your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am
sending them into the world. And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so
they can be made holy by your truth.”

What is in a name? Isaiah 9:6 is
the prophecy of the birth of Jesus – For
a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his
shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Ephesians
1:21 – Now he is far above any ruler or
authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also
in the world to come.

How
many hymns have been written giving praise to Jesus? Yet the world tries unsuccessfully
to vilify the name and destroy the power of Jesus by denying Him or allowing
His name to be spoken for fear of offending the very people Jesus created. A
few of the hymns written that glorify God follow:

W Philpott, the Pastor of the Moody Church, was called to pray for Lela.
Philpott prayed for healing and led her to believe and have faith in Jesus
Christ. He returned to find her, but she left during the night.

Six years
later, Peter Philpott had a ministry of preaching in a large church in Los
Angeles. At the end of a service a young woman came forward to thank Peter
Philpott for leading her to Jesus. It was Lela Long. She used her musical gift
to serve the Lord and handed Philpott a copy of the song she had written. It contained
her testimony of her growing relationship Jesus after He healed her illness.

We may not be able to
write a song as a testimony of our faith in Jesus, but living a faithful life,
walking close beside our Lord Jesus is a melody everyone can see and hear.
