He is the Lord God Omnipotent, Zion’s God. He triumphs and reigns over all kings. He is King of kings and Lord of lords; for all things in heaven and in earth are in his hand. He is the confidence of the soul of every dear child of God, when led by the blessed Spirit to see the pre-eminence Christ has over every other name, every other power. Both men and devils are under his control. He says, “Hitherto shalt thou go, and no farther, and here shall the proud waves be stayed.” (Job 38:11)
The devils confessed and bowed to his power. We read of the seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, who commanded the evil spirit to come out. The evil spirit said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?” (Acts 19:14,15) And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped upon them and overcame them, and prevailed against them; so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
The name, the authority and power of the Lord Jesus is the same to this day. He is pre-eminent above all in heaven, and has the preeminence upon earth. Say to Zion, “Thy God, thy Jesus, thy Saviour, thy Redeemer reigneth.” In the song it is, “Hallelujah! The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth and triumphs over all.” His name is above all names and most precious. The reason why it is so precious is because he shall save his people from their sins. There is not another name given under heaven or among men whereby poor sinners can be saved.
