Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 

Under normal circumstances, we inherit our name from our father.  Jesus was no
different than we are, in that respect.

It is true that the name was determined and declared at the time of
conception.  Luke 1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring
forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.   Matthew 1:21 And she shall bring
forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people
from their sins. 

WHO WAS THE MOTHER OF JESUS?   Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel
Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,   To a
virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin's name [was] Mary. 

MARY WAS STILL A VIRGIN WHEN JESUS WAS BORN.   Matthew 1:25 And knew her not
till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. 

WHO WAS THE FATHER OF JESUS?   Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto
her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God. 

Thus, Jesus inherited a better NAME than any other person could have
inherited.  The HOLY GHOST was His father.  He also inherited a better NATURE
than other humans do.  He inherited better BLOOD than other humans do.

HIS NAME, HIS NATURE, HIS BLOOD--  made it possible for Him to purchase
Salvation for us all.

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come
unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 

JESUS ALSO QUALIFIED HIMSELF BY HIS STRICT OBEDIENCE TO HIS PURPOSE IN BEING
AMONG MEN.

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above every name:   That at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the
earth;   And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. 

We can safely rest our souls in His care.  Put full confidence in Him.  Place
no confidence in your own abilities.
