What's in a name?

How did you find salvation?

What happened on that glorious day to allow you to find the Saviour of the World?

I just happened to find some books the other day I didn't even realise I had and they fell open to a page that blew me away. I'll blog more about this over the coming days, but it made me wonder - how do real people in real life situations get saved - that is you - please take a few moments to comment to let me know how you did.

I just happened to open an Evangeline Booth book today entitled "Toward a Better World" and read on page 226-227

"His Name, Jesus, or Joshua -'Jehovah the Saviour' - is declared to be no mere name, or indicative of some abstract truth, or of some principle to be developed relation to His history. Nay, Jehovah's people are His people, and He therefore is Jehovah the Saviour, He is the full reality of His Name;

HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.

His name is incomparable. God, the Creator has named Him; has given Him a name 'above every name'; and at that name 'every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord the glory of God the Father

THOU SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS

Care must be exercised in the interpretation of Shakespeare's immortal question, 'What's in a name?' if the answer is t be given with any semblance of discrimination or judgement"

and goes on... on page on 230-231 it continues with

"This Name has lifted a flaming torch wherever it has travelled, and has illumined the bitter darkness of heathendom with light of revelation. It has abolished the inhuman practices of heathen worship. It has broken the cords that bound the girl-widow to the funeral pyre... with a blaze which all the powers of sin and Hell never can extinguish."

Wow - Hallelujah

Tell the world today, and tomorrow.

"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins"

Mathew 1:21
