ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS' NAME
A few Sundays ago, we were listening
to the radio, and the words of a familiar
hymn, learned in our boyhood, majestically
came over the air waves...
"All hail the power of Jesus' name
Let angels prostrate fall
bring forth the royal diadem
and crown him
Lord of all"*
In our trials and tribulations, there is
a name and a power that transcends
them all. The name and power of...Jesus
In Him we live and overcome
Without him there is only
death and defeat
With Jesus Christ there is
Resurrection and eternal life
Over time to many of us have learned
to use his name in a casual, careless,
derogatory way
Perhaps it would be better if we learned
to use Jesus' name in a more glorious,
magnificent way, that we might receive
victory over our enemies...without and
within
