Coffee Time with Jesus

  • Jesus: A More Excellent Name
    Having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.  Hebrews 1:4
     
    Jesus has a More Excellent Name than the angels. The angels were ministering spirits sent to help the heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:14), but Jesus was sent to purchase salvation. He has a More Excellent Name than Moses, who led Israel out of Egypt and gave them the Law (Hebrews 3:3). Jesus fulfilled the Law and died to take it out of the way (Colossians 2:13-15). Jesus has a More Excellent Name than the high priest, who interceded for Israel (Hebrews 4:14-16). Jesus gives us grace, for which the high priest prayed. Jesus has a More Excellent Name than Melchizedek, because Jesus obtained a better salvation and a new covenant (Hebrews 7:22-24). Because of the excellence of His name, you can go to the Father through Jesus at any time. Will you pray to the Father through the name of Jesus?
     
    Jesus, I love Your name. Your name calms my fears and guides me each day. Jesus, Your name saved me and Your name keeps me safe.
     
    Because Jesus has a More Excellent Name, you can pray in His name (John 14:13-14). Because the name of Jesus has power, you can break addiction and cast out demonic powers in His name (Acts 16:18). Because the name of Jesus sets prisoners free, you can have a powerful witness to the unsaved in His name. One day, every knee will bow to recognize and worship the name of Jesus (Philippians 2:9-11). Will you do it now?
     
    Jesus, I worship at the sound of Your name. You are worthy to receive all honor, praise, and thanksgiving. Amen.
     
    Go Deeper: Hebrews 1
     
    The name Jesus is the key to God’s power.
