The Everlasting Name of Jesus Christ

One goal of people throughout history has been to have one’s name remembered and memorialized long past their time on earth. In the minds of many, to be remembered long after they have died somehow gives them a sense of immortality, a way to live on throughout history. Although many people have somewhat succeeded in having their names remembered for centuries, no other human name has been or will be remembered for as long as the name of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 135:13–14

Your name, O LORD, endures forever,
Your fame, O LORD, throughout all generations.
For the LORD will judge His people,
And He will have compassion on His servants.

Psalm 72:17–19

His name shall endure forever;
His name shall continue as long as the sun.
And men shall be blessed in Him;
All nations shall call Him blessed.
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel,
Who only does wondrous things!
And blessed be His glorious name forever!
And let the whole earth be filled with His glory.
Amen and Amen.
