"JESUS"
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS NAME?
What is it about the name, "Jesus"
which makes us
want to bow down?
What is it about the name, "Jesus"
that causes
demons to flee?
There is POWER in the name, "Jesus"!
ALL of the VICTORY of the Cross
and the
VICTORY of the rolled away stone
are held together
in the name, "Jesus"!
He is
Our Friend
Our Redeemer
Our Life
Our Breath
Our Protector
Our Savior
and yet,
little children approach Him
with careless abandon!
ALL the POWER
of the universe
and all the
Gentleness and Love of the Father
is held in the mention
of His Name!
He is
the boldest and the meekest
He is
Love, Grace and Mercy
YES
the name "Jesus" calls forth
Life from death
Riches from poverty
Sufficiency from need
Strength from weakness
Power from nothingness!!!
***
Father, teach us
to call upon the name of Jesus!
Teach us to bow our hearts
when His Name is mentioned!
Teach us to visualize the stone rolled away
and the Christ triumphantly
walking from the tomb
and calling us to walk alongside in Victory!
Too often we leave Your Son
at the Cross
and walk in sorrow
believing His death was the end
But, there's
MORE
isn't there?
There's the
RESURRECTION!!!
His Life becomes our Life!
We go to the Cross with Jesus --- lay down our life
But, there's
MORE
isn't there?
We take on
HIS PRESENCE
HIS POWER
HIS LIFE
into our
weakened, surrendered bodies!!!
Consume us again, Jesus,
in a way that we know
THE POWER OF YOUR NAME
THE POWER OF YOUR
RESURRECTION
Come again, Jesus,
and roll the stone away for us!
Beckon us to leave our grave clothes behind!
Hold our hands
and bring us into the Light of dawn!
WE CELEBRATE YOUR NAME, JESUS!
