There is much significance in a name. It is a point of identification and is a distinctive designation. The ability to refer to and identity a subject is integral to our way of communicating with one another. You greet people, by giving your name. Names also have power. Your signature on any legal document carries an authority and, in essence, states that you are knowledgeable of, and responsible for that which you are signing your name to.
A NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
There is a name that is far greater than any name in history. It is the name that is above all names. There are not enough nouns and adjectives in any language of the world to describe the majestic, all powerful name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
God has highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name; That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil. 2:9
It is the name that rules all heaven, earth and under the earth. His name rules in this world and in the world to come. His name identifies Him. His name has power and there is authority in His name.
