“In the name of Jesus”~ Acts 3:6
If Jesus is no different, let’s say, from the prophet, Mohammed, then, pray tell me, why the mere mention of that blessed Name upsets the children of this world, both in the secular and religious realm. Today, there is a universal movement on to erase that precious Name from the vocabulary of every people and nation; excepting as a cuss word.
But this is no new thing. It’s been going on for over 2000 years. Those early, primitive believers were threatened, and commanded, “…not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.” Why was this? Because this Name has the authority of all Heaven behind it.
It is this Name that can get a person back on his or her feet again; “In the name of Jesus…rise up and walk.” It can heal the sick; “Is any sick among you?… [anoint] him with oil in the name of the Lord.” Devils flee at His name; “I command thee [evil spirit] in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.” And, best of all that glorious Name can save to the uttermost; “…thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
His name is slag to the world but precious to the elect!
