Names
Names are, in fact, a commodity. They have value attached to them and can either be traded for a favor or used as a warning. A name distinguishes one person from another and gives a certain distinctiveness or uniqueness to individuals. Some pay particular attention to their name to make certain that it implies integrity and truth, honesty, hard work, power, and influence.
Most of us, from time to time, have been asked by others if they could use our name as a reference or as a way of introducing themselves. They assume that our names imply a degree of significance for one reason or another.
But human names are all limited. They only have worth in certain areas and for a certain amount of time. If people do not know us or never heard of us, we make no difference in the scheme of things.
There is a statement made about a name in Psalm 148:13—"His name along is exalted."
There is a certain exclusiveness in this statement. Of all the names of all the people who have ever lived, only one name is to be exalted. And that is because of who He is and what He has done.
All other names are flawed or contaminated for one reason or another. His name is above and beyond reproach, worthy of worship and praise because He is Holy and without fault. All of us fall short of the glory of God and need a name that we can use to save us. That name? JESUS!
P.S. I'm currently looking for a pen-pal to correspond with. If you're interested, write me at the address listed. I look forward to hearing from you.
