When someone is dear to us, everything about them becomes precious. This is how true believers feel about Jesus. Everything about Him is invaluable. David once said, "All your garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia," as if even the clothes of the Savior were sweetened by His essence. Every step He took, every word He spoke, and everything His Word reveals is priceless to us.

This is especially true of His names. They're sweet to the believer's ear. Whether He's called the Husband of the Church, her Bridegroom, her Friend, the Lamb, the King, the Prophet, or the Priest, every title is a delight. But if one name is sweeter than the others, it's Jesus.

Jesus is the name that fills heaven with music and is the heart of all our joys. It's woven into our songs of worship. Many of our hymns begin with it, and few end without it. It's the essence of all delight, a melody in one word. It's a vast ocean of meaning captured in two simple syllables: Jesus.
