find the other name-Jesus, the Mes
siah. For 1000 years, from the fall
Of Adam and Eve, men were walt
ing for the promised Messiah-the
one who was TO redeem them. Dur
ing that time men became discour-
aged and forgot God. The world
and its -allurements had taken such
a hold upon the hearts of men that
God was relegated to the regions Of
non-existence. Men thought of God
only to blaspheme. Prophets had
arisen to announce his coming. but
they were not credited. Our thoughts
naturally, go back today to the COM
ing of our Lord into this world. His
name a chosen from eternity, for
we read in the new testament that
the angel told Mary she was 10 con-
ceive and bring forth a son and His
name was to be called Jesus

hearts of mankind. for ii means
saviour He it was, who was to
bring salvation to His people-to
bring men back-t to a love and rever-
ence for God.
1T is difficult for US to conceive
the greatness of His Holy Name.
1t is a name Of power: the name of
One to whom all power is given In
heaven and on earth.
Yes, Jesus is God. His power Is
the power of God. Conjured by the
high priest to declare His identity,
Jesus affirmed himself 10 be God.
His works, His words. His life-all
attest His divinity.

yes. Jesus is God. His power is
Gods power. His authority is the
authority of God. That power is
without limitation or restriction-
without measure and
bounds. And this power Jesus con-
fers in its plentitude upon His chosen
followers and their successors.
