A Sermon Glorifying Jesus


1) The Name Of Jesus Is A Prophesied And Proclaimed Name

     Time to glorify the name of Jesus. First the name of Jesus is a prophesied name. Before Jesus was born, the Father told Jesus' adopted dad Joseph in a dream at Matthew 1:21 And she (Mary) shall bring forth a Son and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Next the name of Jesus is a proclaimed name. According to Psalm 34:1 proclaim the name of Jesus everywhere at all times. Right now say I will bless the Lord (Jesus) at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 

     Proclaim and bless the name of Jesus in the morning. Like David say Psalm 5:3: My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord (Jesus); in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Proclaim and bless the name of Jesus in the night. Like David say Psalm 134:1 Behold, bless ye the Lord (Jesus), all ye servants of the Lord, which by night stand in the house of the Lord. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord (Jesus). The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion. Like David say Psalm 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice. 


2) The Name Of Jesus Is A Powerful Name

     Next the name of Jesus is a powerful name. The powerful name of Jesus can heal any sickness. Pray in Jesus name to receive healing for any sickness. Peter used the powerful name of Jesus to heal a lame man at the Beautiful gate. First there was a lameness, then there was a look, then there was a limp, and finally there was a leap of joy. First there was a look, then there was a lifting up, then there was life in the ankles, and finally there was a leap of joy. Acts 3:6 says Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 


3) The Name Of Jesus Is A Persecuted Name

     Third the name of Jesus is a persecuted name. You'll get persecuted when you say the name of Jesus in public. Rejoice (don't be depressed) when you are persecuted because of Jesus. Luke 6:22 says Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Be like Brother Bob and when people persecute you and speak evil about you because of Jesus, find the nearest Walmart bathroom and leap for joy and be exceedingly glad. Remember according to 1 Peter 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy (not depressed) are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified. 

     Be like the apostles who kept rejoicing and counted it an honor to be beaten and suffer shame for Jesus. Like the apostles keep witnessing and rejoice with unspeakable joy when you are persecuted because you preached about Jesus. Acts 5:40 says And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. 

     Like the apostles, if you keep rejoicing through persecutions, you'll keep witnessing for Jesus. Remember James 1:2 says My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. If someone says that you talk too much about Jesus, reply "Correction I need to talk more about Jesus and thanks for the compliment." They're going to talk about you anyway. Give them something good to talk about and leap for joy while you give them a Forrest Gump and run for Jesus.


4) The Name Of Jesus Is A Precious Name

     Fourth the name of Jesus is a precious name. Not only is the name of Jesus precious but the blood of Jesus that removes our sins is precious. 1 Peter 2:6 tells us that the name of Jesus is precious. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious (who is Jesus): and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe He (Jesus) is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner. 

     1 Peter 1:18 says that the blood of Jesus is precious. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you. Praise Jesus for redeeming, purchasing, buying, and freeing us from sin with His own precious blood shed at the cross of Calvary. 

     Right now rejoice and say Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own (precious) blood He (Jesus) entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. Ask the angels to send the blood of Jesus daily over your home, car, life, and everywhere you travel to overcome the devil. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.



5) The Name Of Jesus Is A Prevailing Name

     Finally the name of Jesus is a prevailing name that gives us the victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. And 2 Corinthians 2:14 says Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. Remember when you pray in Jesus name you will prevail and always receive victory. Just ask for anything in Jesus name without sinning and you will receive your prayer requests. Jesus said at John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name (Jesus), that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

     Remember with Jesus you are always a winner that stands on a firm foundation that never fails. If you stand on the foundation Jesus, you'll stand through any storm or trouble. 1 Corinthians 3:11 says that Jesus is our foundation. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. According to Matthew 7:25 the foundation of Jesus is a Rock that will survive and overcome any trouble, sickness, or worry. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a Rock (Jesus).

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 746-7071. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

About A Jigsaw Puzzle With A Map Of The World On One Side
And A Picture Of Jesus On The Other Side

     A father told his four year old little daughter to put together a jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle was a map of the world in sections on one side and a picture of Jesus on the other side. The four year old little girl put the puzzle together in just one minute. Her father was amazed. She had all the continents in the right place; (North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica).

     The little girl's daddy asked her "How did you put the puzzle together so fast and so correctly?" The little girl replied "Daddy I didn't know what the world looked like but on the other side of this map there was a big picture of Jesus. I put Jesus together and the whole world turned out right." Like this little girl, when Jesus completes your life with salvation, peace, and joy, the whole world will turn out right. Jesus promised us at John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Right now like the little girl get saved with victory over this troubled world. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 



A Sermon Exalting Jesus
Praise Jesus For His Blessed Accomplishments Listed Below

     Jesus was born contrary to the laws of life. Jesus lived in poverty and was reared in obscurity. He did not travel extensively. Only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived to escape Herod, fleeing to Egypt as a little child. He possessed neither name, wealth, or influence in his early years. His relatives were uninfluential and inconspicuous (brothers James Joses, Juda, and Simon with His sisters listed at Mark 6:3) who did not receive salvation until after Jesus' resurrection (note that Acts 1:14 says Jesus' brethren got saved continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication after Jesus' resurrection).

     During Jesus' infancy, He startled King Herod. During Jesus' childhood, He puzzled the doctors. During Jesus' manhood, He ruled the course of nature by calming a storm with just three words (Peace Be Still) where the raging waves layed down like sleeping dogs at His feet and the winds howling like maniacs began to whisper softly like babes in sweet sleep.

     Jesus healed the multitudes without medicine and made no charges for His services. Jesus never wrote a book but yet all the books in the world could not tell all that He did while He was on this earth. Jesus never wrote a song but He's furnished the theme for more songs than all the other songs written in this world. 

     Jesus never founded a college but all the schools put together cannot boast as many students as He does. Jesus never practiced medicine but He's healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near. Jesus never marshaled an army, nor drafted a soldier, nor fired a gun, yet no leader ever had more volunteers who obeyed His orders and made rebels stack arms and surrender without a shot being fired. 

He's Jesus; He's King; He's Lord of lords
His Name Is Jesus That Is The Name Above All Names



A Sermon Exalting Jesus
Read Below How Jesus Is Exalted In Nature

     Jesus is the Rock of geology. When the world around you is crumbling, Jesus is the Rock on which you can stand. 1 Corinthians 10:4 says And did all drink the same spiriitual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. Jesus is the lion and the lamb of the zoological kingdom stated at Revelation 5:5-6. Jesus is the greatest star of astronomy. 

     Jesus is the revealer of secrets. Jesus is the quickener of all that is wholesome. Jesus is the adorner of all that is beautiful. Jesus is the reconciler of all that is contradictory. Jesus is the harmonizer of all discords. Jesus is the healer of all diseases. Jesus is the Saviour of all men who put their faith and trust in Him. 

     The names of past scientists, philosophers, and theologians have come and gone. But the name of Jesus abounds more and more where Jesus lives on forever and ever. Herod couldn't kill Him. Satan couldn't seduce Him. And death couldn't hold Him. Jesus stands forth on the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory proclaimed by God, acknowledged by angels, adored by saints, and feared by devils, where Jesus is the preeminent God with a name above all names. Colossians 1:18 says And He (Jesus) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. 




A Sermon Exalting Jesus
Read Below How Jesus Is Exalted Throughout The Bible

     Jesus is everywhere in the bible. What the hub is to the wheel, the Lord Jesus is to the Word Of God. It all revolves around Him. All of its types and prophecies point to Jesus. All of its truths converge in Jesus. All of its glories reflect Jesus. All of its promises radiate from Jesus. All of its beauties are embodied by Jesus. All of its demands are exemplified by Jesus. All of its predictions are fulfilled by Jesus. 

     Jesus was Abel's Lamb (Genesis 4:4). Jesus was Abraham's ram when Isaac was offered up on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:13). Jesus ate with Abraham in the desert tent and sent two angels into Sodom to get Lot out of bondage (Genesis 18:1-2 and Genesis 19:1). Jesus was the brazen serpent lifted up by Moses in the wilderness (Numbers 21:9). Jesus was the scapegoat who carried away our sins into the wilderness to be forgotten forever (Leviticus 16:21). Jesus was the scarlet thread that represented the blood of the Lamb Jesus that the harlot Rahab hung in the window to testify that God would have mercy on her home (Joshua 2:18-19). Rahab trusted in the promise of Exodus 12:13: And the blood shall be to you for a token (sign) upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

     Jacob called Jesus the Lawgiver of Judah who is Shiloh, that is the epithet description of Jesus who represents tranquillity and peace (Genesis 49:10). Moses said Jesus is the Prophet that the Lord thy God will raise up from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto Him ye shall hearken (Deuteronomy 18:15). The book of Jonah tells of His death, burial, and resurrection. Matthew 12:40 says For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

     Job called Jesus My Living Redeemer, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth (Job 19:25). Daniel called Jesus the Ancient of Days, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire (Daniel 7:9).  Ezekiel gives us a picture of the millennial temple (Ezekiel Chapters 40-48). 

     Isaiah described Jesus at Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jeremiah called Jesus THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS (Jeremiah 23:6). Micah tells the place of Jesus' birth at Bethlehem Ephratah (called the house of bread that is a place of fruitfulness), though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting (Micah 5:2). 

     Amos described Jesus' Second Advent or the Second Coming when Jesus will return to this earth ruling as King of kings with a rod of iron where Israel will be the greatest nation during the 1000 year millennium. When Jesus is on this earth during the millennium, everything will be abundantly blessed and come alive. Amos 9:13 says Behold, the days come saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God. 


A Little Humor Below About A Preacher And A Cop To Make You Smile

     A policeman stopped a preacher who had a bottle of wine on the back seat of his car. The preacher told the cop, officer that's only water on the back seat. After the cop tasted the wine, the cop said phew, preacher, that ain't water, that's wine. The preacher replied Praise the Lord He done did it again. God turned the water into wine. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
