"The name men hate"
Philippians 2:9

Why do men hate the name of Jesus?
It's a name with Power....Power to save. Read Matthew 1:21
This name transforms some, and troubles others.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
* Could it be they hate his cross
* They hate what it stands for!
Today we should not worship the cross, but who hung on that cross.
* They hate what it shows us! SIN!
Thank the lord, he will never hang there again.
We gave him thorns, the Father gave him a throne.
I Corinthians 1:18 describes what they think of the cross.
They do not mind a generic god "little g" They do hate the name of JESUS!
* Could it be they hate his crown
He is Lord!
Read Hebrews 12:2
* He sits with Honor
* He sits on High
* He sits with the heavenly Host
* We are his Body
* We are covered by his Blood
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
This name gives me peace, and comfort.... The name of JESUS is above every name. read Isaiah 6:
* Could it be they hate his church
I John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
Luke 21:7
What is the reason they hate his church?
* We are his Bride
