Philippians 2:9-11
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus. Today's hymn was written over two hundred years ago, but it still holds tremendous meaning for us today. Many stories have been related about how the name of Jesus (Yeshua) has been called upon in time of need, and has brought deliverance.
Back in the mid eighteen hundreds, Rev. E. P. Scott was a missionary to India. One day he saw on the street a man of so strange an appearance that he inquired about him, and learned that he belonged to a wild mountain tribe among whom Christ had never been preached. Mr. Scott prayed over the matter and decided to visit that tribe. As soon as he reached their mountain home, he fell in with a savage band who were on a war expedition. They seized him and pointed their spears at his heart. Expecting a quick death, the missionary pulled out his violin and began playing and singing in their native language the hymn "All hail the power of Jesus' name." He reached the stanza that reads: "Let every tribe and every tongue, On this terrestrial ball, To him all majesty ascribe, And crown him Lord of all..." As he opened his eyes he saw that the natives had lowered their weapons and some were in tears. E. P. Scott spent the rest of his life ministering to these primitive people. What does the name, "Jesus" mean to you? Have you called upon His name and released your own attempts to control your life? I urge you to invite Him to be the Lord---the master of your life. Blessings dear hearts. Walk with God today. Trust Him completely and be a blessing. --- Pastor Cecil
