What A Beautiful Name: JESUS - Acts 4:12






This is Namma for Christ with the one hundred fourteenth inspirational message dated Friday, May 12th, 2017.  The title of this message is, “What A Beautiful Name: JESUS - Acts 4:12”.  The first four words in the title of this message are also the title of the above song/video entitled “What A Beautiful Name” as sung by the Christian singing group "Hillsong Worship" with power and anointing.  The scripture comes from the 12th verse of the 4th Chapter of the New Testament book of Acts – as written by Luke:
 
Acts 4:12

New King James Version (NKJV)
12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”



The below excerpt was taken from the internet in researching under: Acts 4:12 – entitled, "Matthew Henry’s Commentary"  (This passage is concerning Peter’s Sermon, which was preached after the miraculous “healing of the man who was born lame”):





4:5-14 Peter being filled with the Holy Ghost, would have all to understand, that the miracle had been wrought by the Name, or Power, of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, whom they had crucified; and this confirmed their testimony to His resurrection from the dead, which proved Him to be the Messiah. These rulers must either be saved by that Jesus whom they had crucified, or they must perish for ever. The “Name of Jesus” is given to men of every age and nation, as that whereby alone believers are saved from the wrath to come.




What A Beautiful Name is the Name of “JESUS”! As the verse of this meditation states - "there is NO OTHER NAME BY WHICH MEN, WOMEN OR CHILDREN can be SAVED ... please read Acts 4:12 below



Acts 4:12



12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”





Furthermore, Hebrews 1:1-4 state the following concerning Jesus:

 

Hebrews 1:1-4
New King James Version (NKJV)

God’s Supreme Revelation

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself[a] purged our[b] sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

 

What does JESUS' NAME mean to you?

 
The name of Jesus encompasses more than we can hope or imagine - more beauty, more power, more grace, more mercy, more forgiveness and more love than we can comprehend...
 
JESUS is God's SON.  JESUS IS GOD's WORD come to life! JESUS is our SALVATION, our REDEEMER.
 
JESUS IS EVERYTHING THAT WE NEED HIM TO BE IN OUR LIVES!
 
JESUS is our HEALER, our PROTECTOR, our COMFORTER and HE IS OUR SAVIOUR!
 
Colossians 1:15-20
New King James Version (NKJV)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

Reconciled in Christ

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

 
Jesus is the radiance of God's Glory, the exact expression of His being. He is our reconciler to God Almighty!
 
Colossians 3:17
New King James Version (NKJV)
17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

 
WHATEVER YOU DO - DO ALL in the NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST: "What A Beautiful Name"!
 
PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
