Stained glass at St John the Baptist’s Anglican Church http://www.stjohnsashfield.org.au, Ashfield, New South Wales. Illustrates Jesus’ description of himself “I am the Good Shepherd” (from the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 11). This version of the image shows the detail of his face. The memorial window is also captioned: “To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of William Wright. Died 6th November, 1932. Aged 70 Yrs.” (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

And whatever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by
Him. (Colossians 3:17).

The Lord
Jesus was born to be man’s legal representative to God, so He could bear the
penalty for sin on his behalf. He took upon Him the form of a servant and was
made in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:7). All that He did in the cause of
His earthly ministry was in man’s stead – as our substitute. Jesus knew His
mission as man’s representative and took every turn to emphasize it. He referred
to Himself as the “Son of Man”. He wanted everyone to know He was man’s representative.

When Jesus
died on the cross, we died on the cross with Him; and when He was buried we
were buried with Him; because He represented us; He died in our place, in our
name. so when God raised Him up in triumph over satan and sin, in the mind of
justice, we were raised up together with Him: “But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved
us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by
grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together
in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4-6).

As one who’s
born again, you’ve been called into the victory – life, where you reign and
rule over life’s circumstances through Christ. The life, glory and name of
Jesus now belong to you; therefore you’re to live in, and do all things in the
Name of Jesus as read in our opening verse. To live in the Name of Jesus Christ
is to live in victory over life’s challenges.

No demon,
sickness or disease can destroy or hinder anyone who has come to apprehend the
victory wrought for us through the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord
Jesus Christ. I urge you, therefore, to dare believe the Word, and face your
endeavours today with the mindset of a champion, knowing that you have the
victory in the Name of Jesus Christ!

PRAYER

DEAR FATHER, I THANK
YOU FOR GIVING ME THE POWER OF ATTORNEY TO USE AND LIVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS
CHRIST. I GO FORTH TODAY WITH JOY, KNOWING THAT I’VE GOT VICTORY IN THE NAME OF
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AMEN!
