Notes
Transcript
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
TODAY IS THE 2ND SUNDAY OF ADVENT. ADVENT REFERS TO THE COMING OF CHRIST AND REMINDS US NOT ONLY OF HIS BIRTH BUT ALSO OF HIS RETURN. IT IS CUSTOMARY TO ANNOUNCE IMPORTANT PEOPLE BEFORE WELCOMING THEM. JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME TO ANNOUNCE THE COMING MESSIAH. IN SPITE OF THIS AND THE MANY REVELATIONS ABOUT HIS BIRTH, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE TOOK NOTICE OF HIS PRESENCE.
IN OUR TEXT THIS MORNING…GOD THE FATHER ….HIGHLY EXALTED JESUS AND GAVE HIM A NAME …..HIGHER …GREATER AND ABOVE EVERY NAME
MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS
EACH OF US POSSESS A NAME THAT WAS GIVEN TO US BY OUR PARENTS AT BIRTH
SOME OF US LIKE OUR NAMES…..WHILE
SOME OF US HAVE NAMES THAT WE DON`T LIKE…
FOR THAT REASON……PEOPLE GO
JUST GO BY THEIR INITIALS…..OF THAT NAME OR BY A NICKNAME
BUT THE TEXT BEFORE US REVEALS THAT NAME OF JESUS IS A EXALTED NAME
A NAME THAT IS EXALTED BY THE FATHER
Philippians 2:9 (NRSV)
Therefore God also highly exalted him
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
HIS EXALTATION BEGAN WITH HIS RESURRECTION
BECAUSE AFTER JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA AND NICODEMUS PLACED HIM IN THE BORROWED TOMB
THAT WAS THE LAST THING ANY HUMAN HANDS DID TO HIM
EVEN THOUGH MAN HAD DONE THERE WORST TO HIM
BUT GOD EXALTED AND HONORED HIM
MANKIND GAVE HIM NAMES OF RIDICULE AND SLANDER
BUT THE FATHER GAVE HIM A GLORIOUS NAME
YOU SEE IN HUMILIATION HE WAS GIVEN THE NAME JESUS
AND IN EXALTATION HE WAS GIVEN THE NAME LORD
*****************************************
WELL NOT ONLY WAS HIS NAME AN EXALTED NAME
BUT THE TEXT ALSO RERVEALS THAT HIS NAME IS A SPECIAL NAME
Philippians 2:9 (NRSV)
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”
THEREFORE THE NAME OF JESUS IS A SPECIAL NAME
IT`S SPECIAL BECAUSE MATT 1:21 REVEALS TO US THAT HIS NAME WAS CHOSEN BY HIS FATHER
YOU DO REMEMBER THE STORY
WHEN MARY HIS MOTHER WAS ENSPOUSED TO MARRY JOSEPH
BUT WHEN JESUS WAS BORN JOSEPH AND MARY DID NOT NAME HIM
FOR HIS NAME WAS NOT GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS EARTHLY PARENTS
BUT IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS HEAVENLY FATHER
She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
FOR THE NAME JESUS MEANS JEHOVAH IS SALVATION
IN OTHERS WORDS
GOD LOVED US SO THAT HE SENT JESUS TO THIS SIN SICK WORLD TO DIE FOR OUR SINS
THAT IS WHY THE MEANING OF HIS NAME MEANS--------- SALVATION
BECAUSE HE IS A PORTIAT OF GOD THE FATHER
THAT’S WHY I NEED TO REMIND YOU THIS MORNING /EVENING
THAT GOD DOES NOT JUST LOVE YOU BECAUSE JESUS DIED
BUT JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS BECAUSE GOD LOVES YOU
IN OTHER WORDS
HE WHO KNEW NO SIN
TOOK ON OUR SINS THEREFORE WE COULD BECOME THE RIGHTEOUS OF GOD
THAT’S WHY THE NAME OF JESUS IS A SPECIAL NAME
IT IS A STAINLESS NAME
BECAUSE THERE IS NO SIN OR BLEMISH OR A BAD REPUTATION ASSOCIATED WITH HIS NAME
************************************

BUT THE TEXT ALSO REVEALS THAT THERE IS POWER IN HIS NAME
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THERE ARE SOME GREAT MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BIBLE WITH GREAT NAMES

NAME LIKE MOSES ------ NOAH ---- DANIEL
RUTH -----ESTHER------RAHAB AND MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS
EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD GREAT NAMES
BUT WHEN THEY DIED THERE NAME DIED WITH THEM AND NOTHING HAPPEN
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SALVATION IN THERE NAME
