Name Above Every Name: Jesus!

Matthew 1:18 - 25

18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

20But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

22So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

23“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

24Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

25and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.

Introduction:

1. JESUS = Jehoshua – Jehovah is Salvation – ‘SAVIOR’

2. A Name Is Something Special

We know many names in History; names like;

▪ Columbus

▪ George Washington

▪ Napoleon

▪ Stalin

▪ John F. Kennedy

▪ and on and on…

3. Today names are picked at random - Because it sounds good – it’s different - etc.

4. In Biblical Times names were given according to the circumstances surrounding

their birth or according to the expectation of the person born:

• Moses = “Drawn Out” - of the river Nile by Pharaoh’s daughter

• Abraham = “Father of a Multitude”

Isaac = “laughter” - his mother laughed

• Jacob = “Supplanter”

• Judah = “Praise”

1. Jesus Was Named By God The Father

A. Mary didn’t name Him - she birthed Him

B. Joseph didn’t name Him - He provided for Him and accepted Him

C. The Angel didn’t name Him – he only announced the name, “Jesus” to

Joseph in our text (Matthew 1:21).

D. GOD NAMED HIM = JESUS CHRIST! - Anointed Savior

• On His mother’s side He was human, a man

• On His father’s side He was and is God, the Son

E. Paul said His name was above every name…..

Philipians 2:9-10

9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

F. He is above All according to….

John in John 3:31 - “He that comes from above is above all…”

Peter in Acts 10:36 - “…He is Lord of all”

Paul in Colossians 1:19 - “For it pleased the Father that in Him should all

fullness dwell…”

G. He is heir to all that God is:

• He is the head over all things

• He is All in All

• He is the fullness of the Godhead

• He is the exalted one

• He is the unmatched one

• He is the awesome one

• He is High and Lifted Up

• He stands alone by Himself

Jesus declared to John the Revelator in

Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

H. His name stands alone…

▪ Where there is a Ronald Reagan there is a George Bush

▪ Where there is a Martin Luther King there is a Nelson Mendeta

▪ Where there is a Florence Nightingale there is a Mother Teresa

▪ Where there is a Moses there is an Apostle Paul

▪ Where there is a great leader someone else comes along and stands beside him or supercedes him in prominence.

BUT NO ONE, BUT NO ONE, I said BUT NO ONE

has ever superceded JESUS, THE CHRIST

2. In His Name We Have Access To The Father!

1 Timothy 2:5-6

5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

A. “The Man Christ Jesus”

Born in a manger

Raised in a carpenter’s shop

Walked the sandy shores of the Sea of Galilee

B. Because He was / is man…

▪ He knows every infirmity that I bear

▪ He knows every burden that I carry

▪ He knows every heartache that I feel

▪ He knows every weakness of my mortal body

▪ He knows every temptation the devil brings

C. Because He is God…

• He is the mediator that stands between me and my Father

• He knows the price has been paid and the blood sacrifice given for my sins

• He simply reaches across the throne and touches the Father and brings me into reconciliation with my God

• I don’t have to go through a man, I have direct access through Him – JESUS

▪ Certainly not Lucifer (a degraded, despised, fallen, wretched)

B. No man’s name compares

C. But His name - JESUS…

-- Man that he brought into existence:

• and guarded Him with muscles He had given strength

and they thought they were doing something!

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Psalm 89:11 The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.

1 Corinthians 10:26 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.
