Jesus, Jesus you make the darkness tremble.
Your name cannot be overcome.
I don't remember exactly the first time I heard this, but it wasn't like anything else I'd heard. It helped shift how I see Jesus. I still have so much to learn about the power and authority in just His name. "He silenced the voice of the liar on the cross." He defeated death and sin. I know I grasp about 1% of what all that means. But oh how I love the image of darkness trembling at His name. When I say His name.
I was in my early 20s when I first had this image: it's Jesus standing ready for battle with a sword in His hand. And I am a little girl standing under Him, coming up to his knee maybe. And I knew that He was not just protecting me, but fighting for me. It's stayed with me all these years, so clear.
What is there to fear with so great a Savior? He's already done it all.
