Are We Ready To Die For The Name of the Lord Jesus? This Is A Good Question - Part 2049

To wit, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. (II Corinthians 5:19) 

What did Jesus say? It is not Me that is doing the work but rather the Father who dwells within Me, He is doing the work! Even as a young child, we see Jesus saying, "I must be about My Father’s business." This same Jesus, later crucified on a cross -- He is both Lord and Christ! (Acts 2:36)

And the angel answered and said unto Mary, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." (Luke 1:35)
In various posts, we have endeavoured to express that the bones of the fetus of the Holy Spirit child were not to be broken inasmuch as the fetus was without sin. Similarly, the blood that indwelt the fetus was likewise exempt. For in the fetus veins, dwelt the life giving blood of God’s own holy Spirit. This is why the precious innocent blood was poured onto the earth, fulfilling all the scriptural prophecies.

Indeed, without the shedding of blood, there could be no remission of sin. The only remedial atoning blood was that holy undefiled blood of the Holy Ghost that was sacrificed freely, and yet, with agonizing torture, administered by the hands of fallen, unbelieving and religious fanatics. In their ignorance, and intent on crucifying the Lord of glory, the judicial system, at the conclusion of their proceeding had issued a verdict that stated, "I find no fault in Him." 

The judge then proceeds to wash his hands as if soap and water were capable of removing him from any awareness of conscious guilt. Passing his authoritative power into the hands of a premeditative murderous multitude, who were more than willing to rid the earth of an alternative positive way of life, and, exposing their yokes of bondage. Being imposed by religious leaders upon men, the so-called shepherds feeding themselves, not caring for the sheep. 

Today, the so-called shepherds, responsible for administering the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ are still fleecing the flock. Unfortunately, the sheep seem to be oblivious to the fact that they are being milked into poverty. That is the reason the Lord Himself carries us into His sheepfold. We were totally lost, and how! But He found us and gave to us the gift of eternal life. It is up to us to accept His free gift of salvation that God Himself has so graciously provided. 

How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? 

This salvation, being purchased not with silver or gold, but rather by one who is called the Lamb of God, whose innocent blood poured forth from the veins of the holy Spirit on earth. In this case, the earth being the womb of mankind. This redemptive blood is the remedy for all sin, offered freely to everyone, including those sinning willfully in ignorance. 

It is for this reason that whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. The "whosoever" can receive redemption now! What is the name of the Lord? The Name of JESUS. You will recall that the angel of the Lord declared that the child’s name was to be JESUS.

"For He shall save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21-23) The Name of JESUS that is above every other name in heaven and on earth. (Philippians 2:9) The ONLY name whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

Many descriptive title names have been advanced as if they were actual names. Such is not the case, because the are not names but rather descriptive titles. In this context, it does not matter how beautifully rendered they may be, they are still not names.

Jacob of old wrestled all night with an angel. In so doing, Jacob was determined to obtain the angel's name. He stated, "I will not let you go until you bless me. Tell me your name." If one is desirous to be blessed from the top of your head to the soles of your feet, I urge you to embrace the Name of Jesus. Your heart will burn within you as He talks to you and guides you into the path of righteousness.

The Lord of Glory's name is JESUS! (Acts 2:36) He introduced Himself as being JESUS. The early believers went everywhere preaching JESUS. Unlike today. where YHWH with its inserted vowels are advanced as being God’s so called name, whereas in fact it is nothing other than the incommunicable name of a Hebrew God. If it be incommunicable, then why are so many running everywhere endeavouring to communicate that which is inconceivable. This is a good question!

Nevertheless, peace be in Jesus name! Stand in the offering plate.
