The
name ‘Jesus’ was well explained in Matthew’s Gospel: “And she (Mary) shall bring
forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from
their sins. Matthew 1:21 The best description of him is in Acts 10:38 How God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about
doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him. Therefore, like the early believers we must all believe and be baptized. Mark
16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not
shall be damned. Acts 2:37-38 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their
heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what
shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:12 and 16. When they believed Philip preaching the
things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were
baptized, both men and women.(They were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Because his name alone has all saving power. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and
spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Acts
4:10 and 12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. The truth is that Jesus is
the all-sufficient Savior. No other name is needed except his for salvation. He
alone saves us. What do the name of Jesus mean to you? Is Jesus your Savior, your
Mediator, your Redeemer? Have you trusted him and accepted him on his terms? Some
scholars have located over 700 titles for Jesus in the scriptures. Here are a few
of them here.
