Lift High the Name of Jesus

On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit empowered the disciples of Jesus to speak a language that was understandable to a multitude of diverse people who normally could not understand them. The Holy Spirit anointed the disciples to speak of Jesus with bold convictions. Later, when the disciples were commanded by religious authorities not to speak of Jesus, they replied, “We are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” [1]

 The Holy Spirit empowered Paul to glorify Jesus Christ:
“He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God,
The firstborn over all creation.
By Him, all things were created that are...

In heaven and that are on earth,
Visible and invisible,
Whether thrones or dominions,
Or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him.
He is before all things,
In Him all things consist.
He is the head of the body, the Church,
He is the beginning,

The firstborn from the dead,
That in all things He may have the preeminence.” [2]

The Holy Spirit empowers tongues to speak the Name of Jesus with joy and adoration. His Name is the sound of heaven because in heaven angels and saints sing His praises. His Name is wonderful! His Name is above all others. Faith in His Name saves us. Miracles happen in the Name of Jesus. So, let us lift high the Name of Jesus!
