The Preciousness of the Name of Jesus
Philippians 2:9
Why God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:


Years ago a French soldier who loved Napoleon was undergoing an operation, and as the surgeon pressed the probe far into his lungs to feel for the bullet that lay there, a ghastly smile came over his face. "A little deeper," said he, "and you will find the emperor!" And Oh! I tell you Christ has had thousands of followers, who have had His name written in their inmost hearts, deeper than all other names, and thoughts, and memories — deeper than life, and death, and heaven — deeper than all, forever!

(T. De Witt Talmage, D. D.)
