Name Above All Names

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Name Above All Names

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, ...

At the Name of Jesus, every person should bow and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord over all to the glory of the Father (Philippians 2:10-11). Paul tells us that Jesus is the Name above all names, but what does this exactly mean? In order to understand the meaning of this statement, we have to look at the previous verses of Scripture and the wider context of this passage.

The surrounding context helps the reader understand what it means when Paul tells us that Jesus is the Name above all names. Jesus is the Name above all names because of His obedience, humbleness, and His work of dying on the cross for the salvation of all mankind. What this means is that Jesus is Lord over all and His Name is the greatest name of all.

Jesus has the Name that is above all names, and it will never be taken away from Him. The Lord rightfully has the authority to have the Name above all names because of His suffering, obedience, and sacrifice on the cross. Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16).

Studying the names of Jesus Christ is not reserved for those called to the holy Apostleship. I encourage you to know Him not only through His teachings, His miracles, and His parables, but to know Him by His many names.

Jesus Christ has been given the name above all names, the highest seat of honor, the right to reign and rule. Yet the busyness of our lives and the diversions of this world often distract us from knowing the most important person we could ever know. Perhaps we need some help to see Jesus afresh.

Name above All Names helps us to see and meditate on the incomparable character of Christ--a spiritual exercise that enables us to readily respond to the exhortations of Scripture, to focus our gaze upon the King of kings, and to better understand just how great Jesus really is.

(Acts 4:12) "God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the NAME which is above every name that at the NAME of Jesus EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

(Jn 20:31) "Whoever BELIEVES in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." (Jn 3:16) "He who BELIEVES in Him is not judged." (Jn 3:18) "BELIEVE in the NAME of His Son Jesus Christ."

(Acts 16:31) "These things I have written to you who BELIEVE in the NAME of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life." (1Jn 5:13)

The practice of showing the monogram of Jesus over gates and above doors largely begins with their exhortations. In the sixteenth century the Holy Name was introduced as a liturgical feast. In the year 1530 Pope Clement VII first permitted the Order of Friars Minor to celebrate the Name of Jesus with its own proper Office.

IHS represents the name of Jesus. Originally the letters came from a contraction of his name in Greek. Later, they became linked to the special devotion to his holy name. Over time, IHS has taken on different meanings. For example, it is also associated with the first letters of the Latin phrase "Iesus Hominum Salvator" (Jesus, Savior of Men).

How good is Your Name, 0 Lord! Grant that its goodness may make me, unworthy creature that I am, capable of loving and praising You with all my heart. I want to begin and end all my works by invoking Your Name, and to mark all my affections, desires, undertakings, joys, and sorrows with this sacred seal. But 0 Lord, I beg You, above all, imprint Your Name on my heart and mind, so that I may always love You and think of You.

Holy Mother Church reveals to us the greatness of His Name. The month of January is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. Since the 16th century Catholic piety has associated entire months to special devotions. Holy Mother Church reveals to us the greatness of His name. It was on the occasion of the rite of Circumcision that a name was given to children among Jews. So the Church uses the same Gospel as that of the Feast of the Circumcision, and dwells on the second part, which tells us that "the Child was called Jesus", "as God had bid that He should be called". This name means Savior, for "there is no other name given to men whereby we must be saved".
