[UAH] Revisited, What's in a title or name?

What's in a  title or name? 

 

The motive of being given a title or name, because of the power that one holds, is a good one. The idea that mortal kings or rulers try to exercise their power by enslaving others is contrasted with Jesus

 

Christ who exercised power by setting the enslaved people free, and earning title for that act. Infact invoking the power of Jesus's name can have impacts so powerful as to effect the resurrection of the dead.

 

Ref. The Related Song Here:

 

Conquering kings their titles take,
From the lands they captive make;
Jesus, Thine was given Thee
For a world Thou madest free.

 

Not another name is given
Power possessing under heaven,
Strong to call dead souls to rise
And exalt them to the skies.

 

That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which He so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals say,
Will ye madly cast away?

 

Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for Him to die
Is not death but victory.

 

Jesus, if Thou condescend
To be called the sinner's Friend,
Ours the joy and glory be
Thus to make our boast of Thee.

 

Glory to the Father be,
Glory, virgin born, to Thee,
Glory to the Holy Ghost,
Ever from the heavenly host.

- End.

 

Have Your Say.
