What does it mean to glorify the name of Jesus? In this message from 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12, we see that Christ’s name is glorified when His people live in faith and obedience to His saving work. The Apostle Paul reminds the Thessalonians—and us—that glorifying Jesus means more than praise with our lips.
