21 Names of God: 21, JESUS
Jesus!
Name above all names
HIGHER LEARNING
We live in part of the world that totes great acclimates of higher learning. Contrary to popular belief, this is a secular, not biblical, worldview. (Sidenote: education does not equate to learning.) Having a degree, or multiple degrees, doesn’t give us an advantage when living for, or dying without, God.
WEALTH AND REPUTATION
Working hard or falling into a rich heritage or legacy also does us no good moving us up toward God. There is no pecking order of socioeconomic sorts paving our way to heaven. Having great resources, an impeccable reputation of clout, or great wealth doesn’t change our status in God’s eyes.
PHYSICAL STRENGTH
Though you may build your life building up your body like the ninja warriors and the world’s strongest men contestants do, the strongest of us flail in weakness and fail in comparison to the purity of Jesus. Every time.
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This ist he word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 4:6
Strength of body or mind, might of wealth, education, or even a stellar reputation (as rare as it is) and any other power on earth simply doesn’t change a thing. Each of us need the Holy Spirit; there is no special pathway otherwise from earth to heaven.
