Name Above All Names


Jesus, Name Above All Names
hymn by Naida Hearn

Jesus, name above all names
Beautiful Savior
Glorious Lord
Emmanuel, God is with us
Blessed Redeemer
Living Word

"While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see." Acts 3:11-16

"Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." John 20:30-31
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
The hymn above is one of my most favorites.
There is power in the name of Jesus... Praise the Lord all the earth!
