Something to Ponder

Devotion: At the Name of Jesus by Greg Laurie

Juliet asked Romeo, “What’s in a name?” And then she answered her own question: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

That might be nice if you’re a flower. But if you’re a person, you know that a name can indeed make a difference. Names are so significant that people even will go to court to have them changed.

So, what’s in a name? That all depends on whose name it is. If it’s the name of Jesus Christ, there’s a lot in that name. The Bible says, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13 NLT) and “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:10-11 NLT).

Some may claim they never will bow before Jesus. But they will. Atheists will bow and agnostics will bow. Everyone will bow, no matter who they are, at the Great White Throne Judgment of Christ. But sadly, for those at this judgment, it will be too late. There will be no other chances of forgiveness.

That is why we want to bow now so that we’ll be ready to meet the Lord. Jesus wasn’t born in a stable in Bethlehem so that we could have an excuse to go shopping for a month. The message of the angels to the shepherds was not, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Therefore, go to the nearest mall and spend lots of money.”

Rather, they said He is the Savior of the world. This is good news for us. He was born to die that we might live—and not only live eternally, but live life to its fullest and discover the plan that God has for us.

Comments

  • Emanuel: Emanuel couldn’t wait to call in to say how much he has been enjoying reading the Temple of God book. He wanted to read 10 pages a day but couldn’t put the book down and kept reading. Chapter 10 on the Teble of Shewbread impacted him in a tremendous way.
  • YouTube Comment: Larry is the only one I’ve found in 50 years that makes sense of Daniel and Revelation.

Prayer Requests

  • Vladimir (Dwight) Fanning: We were just informed that Dwight passed away on September 6th. Especially in the early days, Dwight committed his inheritance to the Lord’s work. He gave away Bibles and Larry Wilson’s books. He provided opportunities for Larry to broadcast on radio and TV. He was also baptized by Larry in Colorado years ago. Please keep his wife, Doria, and their family in prayer.
  • Theresa: Theresa was diagnosed with terminal cancer with 3-6 months to live. Please pray for her and her family. Pray especially for healing of relationships. She will soon get a femur and right hip replacement.
