The Father and the Name of His Son

 The name of the Lord Jesus Christ—His reputation, His authority, His ways, and what He stands for—holds such immense power that it forms the foundation of the very order of Nature itself. From the beginning, when all was yet to be, the Father foresaw the future, including the rise of rebellion among the angelic hosts who were meant to govern His creation. Anticipating this, God established the name of His Son as a radiant force of virtue, one that would stabilize the workings of the universe even before the world was formed. His name became the cornerstone upon which the laws of Nature were set, causing trees to grow and planets to orbit in their courses. However, it is not known that God established Christ’s name for this purpose alone. The Father foresaw far beyond our times, to a future where His Son would share the throne over all things forever, including Nature itself. Long before the fall of angels made His name desperately needed, Christ’s name already existed in glory, woven into the fabric of creation to uphold its harmony, while anticipating the greater fulfillment of His reign over all creation in the fullness of time.
