The Son Is the Name Above Every Name · TWOW 52

The name above every name is not a title Christ earned at the resurrection. It is the name he eternally is, and it is the name into which every son has been received.This is part four of T.S.P's ongoing series on the names of God. The earlier sessions established that the compound names of Jehovah were never God's self-identification but rather names given to places where people encountered him. They also established that Christ is the fulfillment of everything those names pointed toward. This session takes a different route to the same conclusion, arguing through five movements, the blessing, the answer, the fullness, and beyond, that Son is the highest name. Because Christ fulfilled the name, and sons are in Christ, sonship is not a metaphor for closeness to God. It is the theological ground on which the believer stands.SCRIPTURE: Philippians 2:9, Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, Ephesians 1:18SERIES: The Names of God. A multi-part teaching tracing how the names attributed to God throughout Scripture find their complete fulfillment in Christ, and what that means for the identity of every son.Subscribe to The Word on Wednesday on Spotify or Apple Podcasts for weekly teachings.
