A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
“How sweet the name of Jesus sounds.” Thus the universal Church testifies. But there is perhaps something peculiar in the experience of a modern Jew with regard to this hold and blessed name. In the present dispensation, Israel, though still by grace retaining faith in God and His revelation, is yet without true and vital knowledge of God, and worships not an “unknown God,” but One who, although known and loved by the Fathers, has receded from their vision into obscurity. Ancient Israel knew and pronounced The Name; not so modern Israel. This is significant. As the name “Jehovah” disappears in the Synagogue, another name appears in the Church, center of that same life of faith, love, joy, and spiritual power, which has vanished from the Jews. That name is Jesus, the same as Jehovah, only a fuller, clearer, and sweeter manifestation of the Redeemer-God. Oh, what joy, to know and to call on the name of the Son of God! It is an ever memorable day when, by the grace of God, an Israelite says, “Lord Jesus!”
