04-07 October 2016 - The Messiah
Exalted – Manna by Dorothy Callies
Psalm 8:1 “O Lord, our Lord, how
excellent is your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the
heavens!” (NKJV)
This messianic psalm exalts the name of
Jesus. You can sense David’s excitement
as you read the first verse of Psalm 8,
“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth, who have set
Your glory above the heavens!”
The name of Jesus is excellent in all
the earth and His glory fills the universe. His name is above every name—every
name in heaven, every name on earth, and every name throughout the vast
universe (Phil. 2:9-11).
Reading from NKJV: “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which
is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those
in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to glory of God the Father.”
The day will come when every tongue will
confess that glorious, excellent name of Jesus Christ as Lord. For those who are in hell will be too late,
but they will confess it nevertheless (Rev. 20:11-15). But those of us who will
be in the presence of our Savior will continue to confess and exalt that name
throughout eternity (Rev. 21:6,7).
Dorothy:
Imagine, David must have seen a vision of Jesus Christ, Himself to say, how
excellent is His Name! David loves God and he was greatly inspired to quote
this scripture. I have seen Tony sing this
song, “His Name is Higher’ with a great feeling of honoring His Name. I could feel the Presence of Jesus Christ when
Tony signed this song in the beauty of Holy Spirit’s moving. It’s awesome!
