Name of Jesus
The name of Jesus is above every name
If then there is any encouragement
in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the
Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy
complete: be of the same mind, having the same love,
being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from
selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard
others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look
not to your own interests, but to the interests of
others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ
Jesus,
Who, though he was in the form of
God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted
him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:1-22
