My mother and father were Edith and Elmer. When I was about twelve I discovered that where my dad worked they called him Tom and that his full name was Thomas Elmer ______. What's in a name? He was still my dad whether he was Thomas or Tom or Elmer. What's in a name?
You know that we pray to the Lord. We sing praises to the Lord. But you know that cults have lords as well. They pray to their lord. They may even sing the same songs to their lord. What's in a name? We say Lord, they say lord. What's in a name?
But when we say Jesus Christ then we have personified the deity. We have made a distinction and everything changes. For you see there is power in the name of Jesus. There's power to convict, to save and to grow.
What's in a name? If the name is Jesus Christ, it has power!
