Fulness of Meaning in the Name Jesus
Luke 1:31
And, behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS.…


So the name of "Jesus," the Saviour — a word often pronounced with little estimate of its meaning — will grow in the experience of believing hearts, the hearts of the redeemed, as all "the height, and depth, and length, and breadth" of its unspeakable tenderness, and patience, and love, are more and more in the lapse of ages disclosed to faith; till that name shall be as much more precious than all human names of tenderness and love, as the whole material universe, if crystalized into one huge diamond, would be more precious than one atom of common dust! Do not think we exaggerate. It is impossible to exaggerate the glory of the love "which passeth knowledge," the value of the "riches" which are "unsearchable.

(G. W. Heacoek.)
