MORNING MANNA 12-14-24
THE NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME
Having met R.G. Lee and hearing him preach I am sending this to give you a sample of his preaching. The important thing is not just his way with words, but his exalting of Christ.
R. G. Lee spoke of the sovereign authority of Jesus’ name in a sermon entitled “The Name Above Every Name”, from Philippians 2:9-10. He said,
The Transcendence of the name of Jesus and its everlasting glory depend upon the work accomplished at the place called Calvary and at the open grave. It is because of that, dear friends, that He stands out today the First Begotten from the dead, “that in all things he might have the pre-eminence.” “His name shall endure forever.”
When the names of earth’s benefactors are no more remembered, when the achievements of science are no longer of value, when the guesses of philosophers are seen to be in vain, when time shall be no more – multitudes, in praise of Him in gratitude for salvation through His name, will still sing the song of Moses, and of the Lamb of enduring name. When the Caesars and Charlemagne, the Napoleons and Wellingtons and their so-called splendid victories are forgotten, the multitudinous trophies of His saving power, in enjoyment of His endless fruits of His blood-bought victories, will sing the praises of His peerless name.
There never was a name like the name of Jesus – so representative of sacrificial love at its best. And someday, “every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord . . . to the glory of God the Father.”
What he said is true. If you have never received Christ as your Savior I urge you to do so right now.- HDS
