Name Above All Names
Why Jesus?
“Why?” That was the question millennials asked me at a conference where I was speaking. Why this… Why that… “I guess that’s why we’re called the Y Generation,” a 29-year-old explained. “We want to know why.”
Millennials, the “Y Generation,” are those born during the 1980s and early 1990s. They’re the children of baby boomers. Those in Generation Y aren’t prone to accept pat answers. In other words, just because a preacher, teacher, or parent says something, that doesn’t necessarily make it true.
So how do we answer their question, “Why believe in and follow Jesus?” For this reason: Jesus demonstrated that He was more than just a man. People witnessed His resurrection from the dead three days after He had been crucified by skilled executioners. Jesus was who He proclaimed to be—the way, truth, and life. Peter, a witness of Jesus’ life, death, burial, and ascension into heaven spells it out, “there is no other name under heaven that has been given by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). That’s why. There is no other name by which we are saved. Confidently, boldly, and gladly speak the truth out loud to the “Y Generation” and everyone else.
Jesus, NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, I praise You, Lord and Savior. You are the answer, and I love You.

Praise to the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”
Have you ever known someone who claimed there are many ways to salvation? If so, you probably recall the conflict presented before you. Since Jesus claimed to the only way to God, in other words, the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, He is either a lunatic, a liar, or LORD. I’m going with the later. He is LORD, and there is no name other than JESUS’s that can save us.
Jesus, NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, I worship YOU!
