“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 

From eternity, the Word was with God, and this Word was God. Before there was time, before creation took form, the Word existed uncreated, divine, and eternal.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)

There was never a beginning to His being, for He Himself is the Beginning.

All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made .(John 1:3)

“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:58)

When the Word became flesh, heaven and earth witnessed a mystery beyond comprehension: God manifested in the flesh.

“And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)

In Jesus Christ of Nazareth, eternity stepped into time; the invisible became visible; the divine clothed Himself in humanity.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”(Matthew 1:23)

Jesus did not cease to be God when He came as man, but He laid aside the independent use of His divine power to live as the Son of Man anointed, empowered, and directed by the Holy Spirit to fulfil the Father’s will perfectly.

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”  (John 5:19)

 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor.”( Luke 4:18)

In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He is not a prophet among prophets, nor a teacher among teachers, nor a ruler among rulers. He is the Lord of all.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” (John 14:9)

“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46)

This is the foundation of all divine authority: the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It is not a title, nor a formula to be repeated, but the very expression of His person, His nature, and His completed work of redemption.

“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world.”(John 17:6)

His Name embodies the power, presence, and purpose of heaven itself. It carries the full weight of His victory over sin, satan, sickness, and death.

The authority of His Name rests upon who He is, the eternal Son, the Word made flesh, the Lamb who was slain and is now risen and glorified.

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.”(Luke 10:17) 

 “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” (John 11:25)

No other name carries such divine endorsement.
No other name holds such legal power before heaven and earth.
No other name commands the obedience of demons and the submission of all creation.

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils.”(Mark 16:17)

It must therefore become a living revelation within the heart of every believer that Jesus Christ stands utterly unique.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Jesus is not one among many. He is the One and Only, the express image of the invisible God, the brightness of His glory, the eternal Word through whom the Father has spoken His final and perfect revelation.

“This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”(Matthew 17:5)

From eternity past through to eternity future, Jesus Christ remains the same, unchanging, unshaken, and supreme.

 All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him (Matthew 28:18).

“I and my Father are one.”(John 10:30)

And to those who believe, He has given them the right to act in His Name, not as beggars, but as ambassadors of the Kingdom, we are to stand in His stead, declaring His will, and manifesting His victory.

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13–14

Therefore, the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not merely to be spoken, it is to be lived, believed, and exercised with faith and reverence. It is essential to understand that the power of God is inseparable from the authority of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.”(Luke 9:1–2)

Therefore, in conclusion:

To speak His Name in faith is to stand upon the finished work of Calvary.

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” (John 19:30)

To believe in His Name is to rest in the righteousness of His person.

“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” (John 3:18)   

To act in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is to enforce the victory that He has already won.

“And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.” (Mark 16:20)
