Jesus' Name

7/21/2021

0 Comments

 
John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t in our group.”
50 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him! Anyone who is not against you is for you.” (Luke 9:49-50 NLT)

There is a right way and a wrong way to use Jesus' name. It is wrong to curse using Jesus' name or use His name in a flippant way. It is wrong to use Jesus' name to distort God's word or to tell a lie.

It is right to praise Jesus. It is right to tell others about Jesus, to spread His Gospel Message. It is right to love, forgive and help others in Jesus' name. It is right to follow Jesus' example and live as one of His followers. The word Christian means "little Christ." It is right to live in a way that people see Christ in us.

    My name is Larry. Right now I am serving as the Intentional Interim or Transitional Pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Richville, MI. This blog is part of my daily personal time reading the Bible and talking with God. It is more of my personal thoughts than a deep theological discussion. Thanks for taking the time to join me in reading and thinking about what God has to say to us today.
