他的名大有力量!

有些人问:“你为什么不能不提到耶稣呢?你为什么一定要用那个名字呢?你为什么不能只说‘上帝’,只说上帝的‘爱’和只奉上帝的名来行事呢?”嗯!这些是上帝所定下的条件,并不是由我们而定的!

你必须经过耶稣才能接触到上帝。他是我们的“中间人”、我们的大祭司(提前2:5)。耶稣是唯一曾从死里复活的人,而且他还能给你这种能力去做相同的事!《圣经》上说:“没有别的名,我们可以靠着得救!”(徒4:12)我们必须奉他的名来祷告,奉他的名来医治,奉他的名来驱除鬼魔,奉他的名来施洗,奉他的名来传道!若没有这个名字,就没有力量!我们所拥有的每一件东西,都是奉了耶稣之名才有的!耶稣说:“你们奉我的名,无论向父求什么,他必给你们!”(约16:23)预期奇迹必会发生吧!你若奉耶稣之名祈求的话,你就必会得到!

看看在使徒行传中,那些早期的门徒们是多么强调耶稣的名吧!他们所传、所讲的就是耶稣!他们所行的全部奇迹,都是奉耶稣之名而行的!他们用来赢得了世界的名字,就是耶稣!而我们能用来赢得世界的唯一的名字,也是耶稣!只有耶稣才算数!

There is power in Jesus’ Name!

Some people ask, “Why can’t you just leave ‘Jesus’ out of it? Why do you have to use that name? Why can’t you just speak of God’s love and do what you’re doing in God’s name?”—Because these are God’s conditions.

Jesus is the One you have to approach God through. He’s our Mediator and High Priest (1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 4:14). Jesus is the only One who ever rose from the dead and can give you power to do the same. The Bible says, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). We’re to pray in His name, heal in His name, cast out devils in His name, baptise in His name, and preach in His name. Without that name, there is no power. Everything we have is in Jesus’ name. “Whatever you ask the Father in My name,” Jesus said, “He will give it you” (John 16:23). Expect miracles, and in Jesus’ name you’ll get them!

Look how much emphasis the early disciples in the book
of Acts put on the name of Jesus. That’s all they preached and talked about—Jesus! That’s the name they did all those miracles in, and that’s the name they won the world in. That’s the only name we’ll win it in too—Jesus!
