And she will have a son and you are to name him Jesus for he will save his people from their sins. – Matthew 1:21 (NLT)
JESUS, NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus your name has power
You make Satan and all his principalities cower
You are powerful and your name is above all names
You have sacrificed your life to remove all kinds of shame.
You save all people from their old life and past sins
You gave us all a clean slate so we can recover and win
Praise you Jesus, you are the epitome of humility
Help us to become like you as we relate to others daily.

What’s in a name? I think a lot of people do not realize the importance of a name. A name can put an imprint on that person who received it. In the past, many Catholics named their babies after saints. Mary, Christina, Maria, Christian, Christie, Mari and many more variations of the same original name were used by parents so that their child will follow the virtues that these saints have lived. My name was coined after the first two letters from both my mother and father’s names. Later on, I learned that it meant “water.” What a privilege that my name means that I am cleansed and I can clean as well. The bible tells us that Jesus is a name above all names.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, thank you for the power in your name.
REFLECTION
Relate a time when you saw the power in Jesus’ name.
