What’s in a name?
Everything!
Revelation 3:12
Jesus is saying to those that have kept his word, observed his word, obeyed and protected his word…to those individuals he will establish them in such a way that they will never be removed or abandoned.
Jesus, the one who has conquered sin and death, the overcomer, the one that has established himself above all things will give those that keep his word a purpose, a place and a permanence that is established and can not be removed or taken away!
Look at this; he will make them a pillar in the temple (a purpose to uphold the very presence of God for all to see and for all to be invited to), he will give them a name of the city of God that is being established anew (a place to be and move and have our being) and he will write upon them his own name (a permanence because a name was something that was inseparable from the person to whom it belongs).
Jesus say “keep my word and live it out in your life and I will establish you in the Kingdom forever”. That’s what is in a name…everything!
