“His name shall endure forever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.” — v.17

Originally, that was written about Solomon. But as we read this verse, we see that it also refers to Jesus. It speaks of His name. “You should call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matt.1:21). That’s what His name means—saviour.

What kind of name is it? It is enduring. “His name shall endure forever” (v.17). Jesus, He has the enduring name, the name that “is above every name” (Phil.2:9). Jesus also has an enriching name. It brings blessing. We have been blessed in Him “with every spiritual blessing” (Eph.1:3). His name also and enabling name (v.18). God enables us, through the name of Jesus, to do wonderful things (Acts.3:6). What a privilege it is to know His name. What a privilege it is to have the authority of His name as we pray and serve Him.

There is no other name like Jesus. It is full of power and authority. It is enduring and brings blessing and enablement to those who know His name. Do you know Jesus as your saviour? “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom.10:13).
