Acts 4:12.
”For there is none other name under heaven given among men by which you might be saved.”
Whether it is Jack Ma, Jeff Bezos or Mother Theresa, the mention of certain names evoke respect, admiraton, fear or even hatred.
It is also true that names like Martin Luther, Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa have made their marks in the history of humanity. Yet these names pale in comparison to the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Here is why I say so:
- None of the great names, (except) Jesus, shed his blood for humanity.
Indeed, most great names can be applauded for their philantropic efforts and fight for civil rights among others, but greater love has no man than this, that a man (Jesus Christ), that laid down his life for us all. ( John 15:13) - None of humanity’s great names ever made the claims that Jesus made.
For instance, He said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me”.
John 10:10. The audacity of His claims make Him stand tall among men. - He lived for only 33years, far shorter than most great men, yet the impact of His life towers above all else.
Although He was killed like a wanted criminal, today, He is the most quoted, most read about and most written about personality in the history of the world.
Dear friend, today you can run to Him, call upon Him or believe in His name and you will be saved.
The Bible says,“and his name shall be called wonderful” (Isaiah 9:6).
Expect wonderful things to happen to you as you invoke the powerful name of our Lord Jesus Christ today!
