“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Heb. 13:8, NKJ).

I. JESUS OBTAINED HIS NAME BY PROPHECY

• The nature of Hebrew names – prophetic projections
• The name of Jesus given by God 
• The name JESUS means “God is salvation.” Among the Jews, it is the same name with Joshua 

II. JESUS OBTAINED HIS NAME BY INHERITANCE

• Heb. 1:1-6
• Heb. 2:9
• Acts 2:25-27, 29-31
• Acts 13:33
• The day God raised up Jesus from the dead was the day Jesus became “begotten of the Father” and entered into his inheritance. 
• Believers reign in life through Christ Jesus, with whom also God made us to be his co-heirs.

III. JESUS OBTAINED HIS NAME BY CONFERMENT

• His self-denial – vv.5-7
• His self-sacrifice – v.8
• His exaltation – vv.9-11

THE POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS

• “in the name of Jesus” means summoning into action the authority and power of Jesus based on his mission and in recognition that
• He obtained his name and delegated same to us his followers to use by faith upon the object of our faith or prayer.
• The day your repent of your sins and surrender your life to Jesus to be your personal Savior and Lord, that same moment, he gives his name to you.
