Beautiful Jesus by Passion featuring Chidima Ubah, is soul-stirring worship- singing the name of Jesus. The beautiful presence of Jesus. A whisper of his name changes the atmosphere in a room, ushering in healing and peace. Oh, there's just something, something about the nameIt's like nothing, nothing I can explainThere's just something, something about the nameJesus, oh Jesus Our names are purposefully chosen. We take care to find names for our children, make lists, and learn meanings. We combine their middle and last names practising them out loud. We spell them uniquely and consider how they will be shortened. When we heard our full names spoken out loud, we knew to pay attention. Oh, there's just something, something about the nameIt's like nothing, nothing I can explainThere's just something, something about the nameJesus, oh Jesus God gave new names to Abram and Sarai. New names to match the covenant and promise for generations to come. After Jacob struggled with God, his new God-given name, Israel, serves to remind us of our dependence on God to be our strength when we are weak. As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you very fruitful. I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.Genesis 17: 4-6 NIV Jesus meets a fisherman named Simon and renames him Peter declaring, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter). And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.Matthew 16:18 NIV His name is Jesus. What a beautiful, powerful, and tender name. The significance of his name is deeply personal. Speak the name of Jesus, let him in and let him change your heart.

There is something profoundly stirring about the name of Jesus. It's a name that has resonated through centuries, breaking chains, healing hearts, and proclaiming freedom. In the song What A Beautiful Name by Brooke Ligertwood, we are taken on a lyrical journey that magnifies the splendor, majesty, and unparalleled power of Jesus' name. "You were the Word at the beginning, One with God the Lord Most High. Your hidden glory in creation, Now revealed in You our Christ." From the very outset of the song, we're reminded of Christ's divinity and His eternal existence. This is a profound mystery: that the Word, through whom all things were created, would step into creation as Jesus, revealing the heart of the Father. Our key scripture, found in Philippians, reminds us of the supreme authority embedded in the name of Jesus. It's not just any name; it's the name above all names, holding dominion over every realm. At the mere mention of this name, every knee – whether in reverence or in defeat – will bow, and every tongue will confess the Lordship of Christ. So, what makes the name of Jesus so powerful and beautiful? 1. Redemptive Love: The chorus resounds, "What a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus." This name is synonymous with sacrificial love. The beauty lies in the fact that Jesus, knowing our deepest flaws, still chose the cross, bridging the chasm between humanity and divinity. 2. Victorious Power: "Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You. You silenced the boast of sin and grave."* Jesus' resurrection wasn't just about defeating death; it was a triumphant proclamation of victory over sin, death, and every force that stands against humanity's redemption. 3. Unchanging Nature: In a world where change is the only constant, the name of Jesus remains unshaken. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His promises, anchored in His name, are reliable. As we embrace the bridge of the song, "Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the Name, above all names," it becomes more than a song; it's a declaration. It's about acknowledging the sovereign reign of Christ in our lives and over all creation. Today, as you reflect on the magnificence of "What A Beautiful Name," let it be more than a melody that stirs your heart. Let it be a call to realign, to surrender, and to worship. Whether you're facing mountains of challenges or walking through valleys of despair, remember the name that holds the power to change your circumstance. Invoke the name of Jesus in your prayers, your praises, and your struggles. There's beauty in His name, not just because of its poetic resonance, but because of the hope, love, and power it embodies. In every season, may our hearts echo the truth: What a powerful, wonderful, and beautiful name is the name of Jesus!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."
