Philippians 2:9-10 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.

Jesus has many names. He called Himself the Son of Man, emphasizing His humanity (John 3:13). He called Himself the bread of life. Bread, giving sustenance and energy, refers to His role as a giver of life - eternal life (John 6:35). he referred to Himself as the gate for the sheep; He also called Himself the good shepherd (John 10:7, 11). Those names focused on His love and guidance, affirming that He is the only way to God's kingdom.

The most powerful of His name is "the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25), for this embodies all of the healing, power, light, might, and holiness that cause us to bow down in praise. Powerful things can happen when we call upon the name of Jesus - the disciples healed the sick in the name of Jesus, the dead were raised in the name of Jesus!

Think about the names you have for Jesus: Faithful Friend, Deliver, Healer, Master, Savior, precious Lord, King of kings. Each name is an accurate description of Him. What is He to you today? Do you need power and might to face a battle ahead? Call on His name. Call on His name. Do you need to break strongholds in your life or experience healing? Call on His name. Call on the name of Jesus, for His name is above every other.
