His Name Shall Be - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]

As we delve into the lyrics of Matt Redman's "His Name Shall Be," we are reminded of the angelic proclamation in Luke 2:14, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" This verse echoes the chorus of the angels in the song, singing praises to God and announcing the arrival of the Savior. The song's lyrics beautifully encapsulate the essence of this verse, reminding us of the divine intervention that brought peace and salvation to mankind.

The song also draws heavily from Isaiah 9:6, "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." These titles attributed to Jesus in the song are a direct reflection of this verse, emphasizing His divine nature and the eternal significance of His birth.

The song's bridge, "One name above all others, One name that came to save us," resonates with Philippians 2:9-11, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This verse and the song's lyrics both underscore the supremacy of Jesus' name and His redemptive work for humanity.

The song and these verses together paint a vivid picture of the divine intervention that brought salvation to mankind through Jesus. They remind us of the joyous proclamation of the angels, the divine titles attributed to Jesus, and the supremacy of His name. They also emphasize the peace and rest that Jesus brings, as He lifts the burdens off the weary ones, as stated in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

In light of this, let us ponder on this: How does the knowledge of Jesus being our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace influence our daily lives? How does the supremacy of His name impact our faith and actions? As we reflect on these questions, let us remember the divine love and grace that brought us salvation and peace through Jesus, and let this truth inspire us to live a life that glorifies His name.
