“There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). Not in empty words do Christians testify to the sufficiency of their Savior and the supremacy of His Name. They tell us that He is far better than even His own promises…In Him all the longings of the soul find their fruition, all losses have their compensation, all the ills and griefs of life have their cure. To the worshippers of Jesus Christ, His Name is far above every name that is named in this world or in that which is to come. Because His life is above every life, and His love above every love, and His passion above every passion. Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like His sorrow. His sacrifice is above every sacrifice, His victory above every victory. Therefore we agree that “at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…and…every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phil 2:10-11).—T.H. Darlow, Via Sacra, p 268
