A name represents a designation for, a description of, and perhaps the essence of the person. When Moses asked the name of the power from the burning bush, the answer was a holy name, a name beyond comprehension, “I am that I am.” When we consider the name Jesus, we should realize that it attempts to describe all He stands for, all He did for creation; all He did for those who accept Him. “Some of you were once like that [living sinful lives]. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Cor. 6:11 (NLT). The same Holy Spirit who lived in Jesus, empowered Him, and guided Him lives within Christians, today. The Holy Spirit had many predicted things for Jesus to do. The things Jesus allowed God to use him to accomplish are complete. As the Christian travels their unique individual spiritual journey, the Holy Spirit will use them to accomplish the tasks He needs done. If we will allow Him, the Holy Spirit may use each person a bit differently to minister to others.
