In Jesus' Name

Acts 3:16 -" And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all."

What is in a name? No sane person would name their child "Stupid." Most people know that when you call something by its name, the meaning of the name is reinforced. When the angel Gabriel announced the name of Jesus (Yeshua) to Mary before His birth, heaven had an agenda. Jesus literally means "God saves." The etymology of Yeshua means every kind of salvation mankind needs or desires. He is first and foremost our Savior from sin. Additionally he is our Healer, our Deliverer, our Sustainer, our Protector, and our Overcomer. Jesus Christ is the salvation solution for every circumstance.

Are we Christians who call on the name of Jesus Christ in faith of its great strength? If not we have denied the power He came to give every believer. May we look to the Savior and the power of his name. Our God is mighty to save!
