A More Excellent Name
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.”
Jesus received greatness of His Name after the resurrection from the dead. He inherited His Name when He was made alive out of spiritual death. – Acts 13:33.
It was after His resurrection that He revealed that all authority in Heaven and earth had been given to Him. Jesus was raised above every power and dominion. After His resurrection that Name that is above every name was conferred upon Him. This was when Father God highly exalted Him. Jesus does not use His Name or has not needed it. He rules creation with His Word. He exists in equality with God. That Name was given to Him, that the church might use it. The ones, who have use of that Name, are those who have become joint heirs with Jesus.
All that He is by inheritance is in that Name, and all that He has done is in that Name. And that Name is for man. God has made that investment for the church. God has made that deposit so that the church may make withdrawals for her every need. There is no name in all three dimensions that is greater than the Name of Jesus Christ.
