The name above every other name

Scott Cason of On Mission shared reflections on the Sunday readings for September 26 and 27, focusing on the significance of the name of Jesus.

Cason noted that St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians describes how God exalted Christ and gave him a name above all others because of his obedience and death on the cross. He explained that the name Jesus, which means the Lord saves or God saves, carries the mission of Christ. According to Cason, the name itself proclaims the purpose of Jesus's life and ministry.
