This is the day.

Psalm 118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

I am told that Psalm 116-118 are Psalms about the coming of Christ to the earth in His incarnation. These songs would have been sung just before the Passover. It is highly possible that when Jesus "sung an hymn" after the Last Supper, that He was singing these Psalms. Whatever the case may be, Jesus was the greatest blessing to ever come in the name of the Lord. God the Son took the form of man, and the physical limitations of man (without sin), and came, in the name of the Lord, to become the Ultimate Sacrifice for the sins of the world. Many others have come in the name of the Lord, and have done mighty works for God, they are also blessed. I am talking about every preacher, teacher, missionary, personal worker, singer, and all the others that come in the name of the Lord to do His work, they are all blessed and a blessing. The most wonderful of all those who ever came in the name of the Lord, however, will always be Jesus Christ. Without Him the work of all the others would have been in vain. How fitting, here in the middle of the year, to take just this breif moment to reflect on the coming of Christ. He's not only the Christ of Christmas, He's the Christ of everyday. Praise His name. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
