No Other Name

 

[Graphic of a sign]


“Salvation is found in no one else…”
—Acts 4:12a

Sometimes, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, circumstances may require us to speak lovingly, but also with boldness. This is exactly what happened to the Apostle Peter, as recorded in Acts 4:8-12:

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them:

“Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.”

“Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

As we greet a new day, let's remember that we are servants of the One who bears the name by which every human in this world must be saved.

Recognizing that there is no other name with such power, let us boldly share His love and the good news of His salvation with others.
