Mr. “No-Name” (Who’s that?)


Imagine living your life without any name.  It might be impossible to us to imagine that.  For we are named from our birth.  And even at our death, out name is placed on our grave.

But unless you receive the Mercy of God in Christ Jesus His Holy Son, your name will be utterly blotted out of eternity.  You will not be mentioned or thought of ever again.  You will cease to be of any importance at all.

For now a man might be important by causing trouble.  If he is incapable of any righteous behavior, at least he can be known for wickedness.  How many wicked men have bragged that others will remember them by their violent behavior?  But that “name” will be taken away.  Even your opinion will not be honored with thought at all.

This is the promise of God toward the unholy, unrighteous, rebellious, those who love false religion, those who love pleasure of the world more than the Righteousness of God, and those who worship anything other than the Living God.

Perhaps you have not considered this.  It is likely.  For it is impossible to imagine living our entire life without a name.

You may say, “I don’t believe any of what you’ve written here.  You’re simply a self-righteous bigot who hates the freedom of man.”  What is such boasting to me?  If you continue in that way, your name will cease.  You will find your end.  You won’t cease because I have told you these things.  The Holy Lord will establish His eternity.  No wicked thing will be allowed to continue past that point.  A new “age” of righteous men made perfect will appear.  And all who have despised the Lord will simply vanish.  “You will look for them but they will not be found.”

The Lord has prepared a staggeringly beautiful place for all who love Him.  Do you seriously think you will be of any importance at all when His people enter the place the Lord has prepared for those who love Him?  No.

You will know your own death.  You will cease to be.  What will that be to those who serve the Living God forever?  Why would you point your finger at such as me?  Why would you chose to blame others for the unholy faults you now embrace?

The name of Jesus is not possible to speak in full.  He has been with the Father from eternity past.  And He will be with the Father for eternity to come.  All the things He has done are within His Holy name.  All the Glories the Father has bestowed on Him are within His Holy name.  And who is able to speak it?

Likewise, our name is beyond speaking.  Each individual is the sum of what he has done, thought, desired, and failed to do.  Who but God is able to speak our true name?  Only God is able to speak it for He has been witness to it all.  This is true of every man.  Regardless his standing before the Most High God, each man has become a fullness of names.  And God’s language is not restrained in His ability to call us as we are.

There is another whose name is complicated.  He is the sum of everything which stands against the Lord of Life.  And his name is known to the Father also.  Speak something which stands against eternal life and you mention a portion of that one’s name.  Those who do the things of that one are part of his family.  Just as those who do the things of the Living God through Jesus are part of Jesus’ name.

A man is who he belongs to.  And we belong according to what we do.  It is folly to speak the name of Jesus as some kind of magic incantation.  The Father’s will is what will appear to live forever.  And only those who do His will by the strength of Jesus within them will enter eternity.  All else will be stopped at the door and will not enter.
