The NAME of NAMES


When we need something beyond our own reach, we call out to someone:  "I need a letter of recommendation."  Can you help me get the job I want?"  Just two statements that reveal a genuine human need:  someone besides myself has more power than I have; someone else can make the difference I can't make.

Whenever we are down and out:  we call upon a name!  Peter and John witnessed an event that shows us the one name that is power, that is the difference maker:  And by faith in that name lives are changed, visions take on reality, hearts discover true peace.

Long before our time there was a man who knew that name and knew it well.  Listen to King David:
"O Lord, our Lord, how glorious is your name overall the earth."
Psalm 8
