<p>2:12- see on Mt. 28:10.</p><p><i>Saying: I will declare Your name to my brothers, in the midst of the congregation will I sing Your praise</i>- The Psalm quoted predicts the Lord's crucifixion. His prayer thoughts to the Father then included His awareness that the <i>ekklesia</i>, the church or &quot;congregation&quot;, were His brothers. For He realized that it was through His sacrifice that a new family was being created. The declaration or preaching of the Father's Name to us was supremely through the Lord's death on the cross. The cross was the supreme declaration of the Name (Jn. 17:26); the first letters of the Hebrew title over the cross spelt 'YHWH'. And that declaration of the Name in the naked, bleeding, betrayed and crucified Christ was to us. And the Lord looked forward, perhaps in literal terms, to singing praise to the Father in the midst of His brothers. This all hardly sounds as if the Lord Jesus was &quot;God the Son&quot;. He positioned Himself in the midst of His brethren, singing God's praise- even after His exaltation.</p>
