Singer and songwriter Gloria Gaither describes Christ’s authority:

The Bible tells us that there is power in the mere mention of Jesus’ holy name.  . . . Jesus. The mere mention of His name can calm the storm, heal the broken, raise the dead. At the name of Jesus, I’ve seen sin-hardened men melted, derelicts transformed, the lights of hope put back into the eyes of a hopeless child . . . Emperors have tried to destroy it; philosophers have tried to stamp it out. Tyrants have tried to wash it from the face of the earth with the very blood of those who claim it. Yet still it stands.

And there shall be the final day when every voice that has ever uttered a sound--every voice of Adam’s race--shall rise in one great, mighty chorus to proclaim the name of Jesus--for in that day ‘every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!’
