Something About the Name Jesus…….Part II
Hebrews 2:17 (New Living Translation)
17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[a] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people.
Would you ever go to Burger King and try to place your food order with the person mopping the floor. Would you ask the receptionist at the hospital to perform your open heart procedure? Would you summon a second grader to drive you to the airport? Of course the obvious answer to these questions is no.
Well, sometimes we do exactly that in our spiritual and prayer life. We confuse Jesus with His counterparts: God the Father and the Holy Spirit. We seek Jesus for counsel when we should be asking the Holy Spirit for that. We ask Jesus to take care of those who spitefully hurt us, when that’s the job description of the Father.
When you say the name of Jesus, that’s pure power. You are activating your very own personal savior. Jesus is the one who is constantly at the foot of the Father pleading on your behalf. Jesus is the one in your hospital room waiting to heal you. Jesus is the one at the well, waiting to love and forgive you. Jesus is the one who grants you grace and mercy. Jesus is the one who saves our marriages, keeps our children and intercedes for us.
Sometimes our prayers aren’t being answered, because we are directly them to the wrong place. In any place of business, there are many employees, all working for the same company but performing different duties in order to accomplish optimum success for the vision. The same is true with the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Today, rediscover just what that “something” about the name Jesus really means. That something special is love, healing, forgiveness, second chances, grace, mercy, and POWER. May you be blessed- - - - - - in Jesus name. Amen
