Exalt His Name Jesus

The name Jesus identified the Son of God as a man. It was a common Jewish name meaning savior or deliverer. Jesus grew up perceived as a member of the local community. It was his baptism at age 30 that marked his anointing and attaining the title of “Christ,” now “the anointed one,” “the one sent from God.” The name Christ distinguished him from all others named Jesus. It identified him as the Son of God. Jesus Christ combined the “Son of God” and the “son of man.” Jesus chose to be the “son of man,” so he might redeem lost mankind, restoring it to the status of his creation, “sons of God.” In the name Jesus Christ is enshrined immortal glory, as well as the omnipotence and omniscience of God the Father. The common name Jesus is elevated above all other names to be expressive of the divine characteristics of “the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus, “the son of man,” elevates mankind to the status of Christians, “the sons of God.” This book presents a challenge to Christians to rise above the limitations of our fallen humanity, to grasp the unlimited potentials embodied in the name “Christ-ian,” and to be like Jesus Christ. We must follow Christ’s example in daily living, internalizing and practicing the precepts he taught, and get intimate with him through prayer. We are expected by God to fulfil the mission and destiny of Christians. When we succeed, all our differences will give way to Christ’s likeness, and the unity (oneness) for which Jesus prayed in John 17:17.

The Prayers of the People is the place where liturgy is most likely to lose energy. Of course, that should not be the case; it is a great privilege to offer our prayers to God as a congregation. But the Book of Common Prayer provides a limited number of forms and, although it also provides guidelines for composition of original prayers, many parishes have prayed just a couple of the forms over and over again for 35 years. Williamson began to compose these new prayers for his parish, posting them on a blog as they were used each Sunday. He discovered in the process that the congregational urge to move beyond the Prayer Book's six forms is a common one. These new prayers bring freshness to corporate prayer, carrying the lectionary-based themes of the hymns, lessons, and sermon into the service, creating a fresh and focused worship experience. Lectionary based prayers in a call-and-response format Written in language that is fresh and well-crafted

"Like newborn babes, long for the pure milk of the word, that by it you may grow in respect to salvation." 1 Peter 2:2 It's a fact of life: our health declines if we don't nourish our bodies every day with food and water. That's true physically. It's true spiritually as well. If we neglect to regularly feed our souls on the Holy Scriptures, our faith becomes weak and we start to lose touch with our Savior. Growth is stifled... if it happens at all. Drawing Near, used daily in combination with God's Holy Word, can not only help bring you closer to God but also keep you from spiritual stagnation. This book will guide you in a growing relationship with Him. As Pastor MacArthur says in his Introduction: "Our entertainment-conscious, quick-fix, fast-food society does everything it can to divert us from setting aside time to study God's Word. As you well know from your own efforts, Bible study is not often entertaining—it's hard work. It takes discipline to set aside time each day to reap the benefits such study has to offer. If you reach an impasse when it's time to sit down, open your Bible, and try to decide what to do, you're not alone. Without some plan to follow, it's easy to become frustrated and eventually give up after only one or two days. That's where this book comes in."
