JESUS: THE NAME ABOVE EVERY NAME

Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

--Philippians 2:8-11

Jesus was perfectly humble. His humility lead Him to perfect obedience, even unto death upon the cruel cross. He suffered pain, agony and affliction in Gethsemane and while hanging, nailed onto the death-born cross. He never complained nor murmured. God the Father exalted Jesus, and the name of Jesus is above every name; for there is no name greater. All should bow at the name of Jesus, all things in heaven and in earth. Everyone should believe in Jesus so deeply and love Him so much that everyone should admit and testify that Jesus Christ is Lord and glorify God the Father. The Spirit of the Holy Ghost bears witness of the truth of all things.
Love God, Jesus, and others above all other commandments, for this is The Greatest Commandment.

Jesus Christ: Our Redeemer-The One Who Saves

Isaiah 41:14

Fear not, thou worm (meek and humble) Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Jesus can, will, and does help us more abundantly if we are meek and humble; for He is our Lord, our Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. Jesus is the great I AM, and He will not forsake us. God delights in those who have meek and humble hearts, who acknowledge His hand in all things, and those who submissively and quietly and faithfully and confidently go about doing His work, not for selfish honors and praises of man, but for the glory of God.

Jesus, our Redeemer, saves us from misery and woe as we turn to Him in humble and sincere gratitude and acknowledgement. Jesus desires that we pray to Heavenly Father in the name of Christ. We have been commanded to do all that we do in the Son of God’s name, Christ’s name.

“Thou shalt do all that thou doest in the name of the Son, and thou shalt repent and call upon God in the name of the Son forevermore” (Moses 5:8)

Doing in Christ’s name is glorifying Him. We should never take God’s name in vain or speak vulgarity vocally or silently, not in the least, for it devastates our spirit and mind, and it brings shame and degradation to the name of deity. Christ, our Redeemer, is here to save. Let Him do it for you.

Abound in Good Works

In Alma 7:22-24, Alma2 taught the people in Gideon to:

1. Remember your Duty to God
2. Walk blameless before God
3. Be humble
4. Be submissive and gentle
5. Be easy to be entreated (taught)
6. Be patient and long-suffering
7. Be temperate in all things
8. Be diligent in keeping the commandments of God
9. Pray for spiritual and temporal things
10. Exercise faith-hope-charity
11. Returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things you do receive

As we sincerely strive to live by these principles, may we pray mightily for strength and desire to succeed at it. As we pray, return thanks to Heavenly Father for the things that He actually does bless us with. Remember that Thanksgiving Day is everyday and act accordingly.
