"The Messiah" - Violin by Antonio Stradivari
==============Highlight Verse[s]: Exodus 6:6 [NKJV] ... 6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
... God tells Moses to tell the people that He, The Lord (i.e., “Yahweh”), is the great “I AM,” The Messiah of God’s people.

Highlight Passage [context]: Exodus 6:1-8 [NKJV] ... USE THIS LINK ...
… Jesus assures His followers of their importance to God in the vastness of the universe.
==============
Reference Passage : ... Philippians 2:9-11 [NKJV] ... 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
... God has designated that Jesus is “Yahweh” (i.e., LORD), which is the Name above all names.
My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Mart DeHaan, uses a reference to a unique Stradivarius violin, which has been named “The Messiah” to illustrate the Name which is above all names - that of “The Lord,” Who was/is our Messiah, ... King Jesus. … The ODB author wrote: The name of Antonio Stradivari (1644–1737) is legendary in the world of music. His violins, cellos, and violas are so treasured for their craftsmanship and clarity of sound that many have been given their own names. One of them, for instance, is known as the Messiah-Salabue Stradivarius. [See photo] After violinist Joseph Joachim (1831–1907) played it, he wrote, “The sound of the Strad, that unique ‘Messie,’ turns up again and again in my memory, with its combined sweetness and grandeur.”
Interesting that of all the masterpiece instruments which were crafted by the greatest of all violin craftsmen, the most valuable of them would be named “The Messiah.” It was - and still is - considered the greatest and most valuable violin ever created. And like our Lord’s name, which the Apostle Paul declared was to be “Yahweh (i.e., LORD)” (see Phil 2), Whose Name given to Him on earth, i.e., “Jesus,” was to be the NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, … to Whom we would one day bow, along with all on earth and in Heaven, and declare that He is “LORD,” and our “Messiah,” … King Jesus.
And I pray today that we can all sing, along with Chris Tomlin, … that Jesus is “Messiah, … Lord of all !!” And we all recognize our King Jesus as … “The Name above all names.”
=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, ... for showing us thru Your word that you are LORD of all, … and Your Name is above all other names.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading bow before You as King Jesus, our Messiah, … LORD OF ALL!! … Amen
