There is a name to Jesus given,
His matchless love its accents tell;
For it declares: He is my Brother,
And this His name—Emmanuel!
The Lord, by angels worshiped yonder,
Has stooped to earth with men to dwell,
Incarnate God, and man forever—
Our own beloved Emmanuel.

There is a name that’s still more precious,
That stirs our hearts with fondest love:
It is the charming name of Jesus,
The name all other names above.
It tells me that He is my Savior
From sin and sickness and the grave.
I love the precious name of Jesus,
For I am one He came to save!

Though dear to us the name of Jesus,
The name of Christ is higher still!
It tells of Him who dwells within us,
Our old heart to renew and fill.
It tells me of the Spirit’s fullness,
It brings the pow’r of Pentecost.
O blessed Christ, anoint me also,
And fill me with the Holy Ghost!

And fill me with the Holy Ghost!

EXPERIENCING THE LORD JESUS AS THE SPIRIT
Through Calling on the Name of the Lord
Every believer has experienced calling on the Lord. We do not have to call loudly; we may also call softly. At night we may call softly so as not to disturb others. If we are in a convenient place, we may call with a loud voice. Our calling loudly is not for the Lord to hear us but for us to be released. A few days ago I had a cold, so the nurse taught me how to breathe deeply. In order to breathe deeply, we must use our diaphragm to inhale and to exhale. This is very beneficial. Calling on the Lord’s name is spiritual deep breathing that enables us to receive spiritual help. A brother who has lost his job and is not able to pay his rent may pray silently, “O Lord Jesus! I am miserable. I cannot find a job or pay the rent. Please help me. ” This prayer is very good. I have frequently taught others to pray such a prayer. The Lord answers such prayers. However, the brother may not feel comforted afterward, because he did not meet the Lord and therefore has no joy. But if he prays loudly, “O Lord Jesus! I am really miserable! I have lost my job, and I cannot pay my rent. Don’t You care, Lord Jesus? O Lord Jesus! ” Afterward, he will shed tears. When he prays in such a loud way, not only will the Lord hear him; he will be released, his sorrow will be turned into joy, and he will enjoy the Lord’s supply and consolation.
Our Lord is not a doctrine, nor is He a religion; He is not knowledge, facts, or explanations. The purpose of doctrinal expositions and revelations of truth in the Scriptures is to show us a living person—Jesus Christ, the Lord of heaven and earth, the origin of the universe, and the Creator of all things. He became a man, died, was resurrected, and became the life-giving Spirit. He is waiting to be received by us. We should never think that it is difficult to believe in Jesus. On the contrary, it is easy to believe in Jesus because He is God, the Savior, and the Spirit. His name is Jesus. The Bible says that He is “rich to all who call upon Him; for ‘whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved’” ( Rom. 10:12-13 ). It may seem as if we cannot meet or touch the Lord, but we know His name. There is a name in the universe that is unique. History shows that the name of Jesus is extraordinary. Whenever we call on His name, we are richly supplied.
