The name of Jesus expresses the fame of this lowly Man. It means Saviour, and as such it is a name that is above every name. May we not say it is the one name that the Son of God had to come down from the glory to a cross of shame to secure? Over the cross it was written, "This is Jesus…" Men in their scorn said, "Let Him now come down from the cross." Had He done so, He would have left the name of Jesus behind Him. He would still have been the Creator, the mighty God, but never more would He have been Jesus—the Saviour! Blessed be His name, His lowly mind led Him to be obedient to the death of the cross.
