A name is a very important thing. Especially in Biblical times, it was a declaration of identity. The name Jesus means “God saves” and “God rescues.”
“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12
When we speak the name of Jesus, we speak the most powerful name there is. It is Jesus who saves us, sets us free, and makes us whole. We speak Jesus in response to Jesus having spoken our name, created us, and called us into a relationship with Himself. As God’s child, we are privileged to speak Jesus to others. It is through Jesus’ name that we speak life to our world.
Who do you know today who needs to hear the name of Jesus? Maybe it’s you! Are you worried? Jesus wants to be your peace. Are you lonely? Jesus promises He is always with you. Are you caught in addiction? Jesus has the power to set you free. Are you sick? Jesus is the healer. Are you sad? Jesus wants to give you joy.
Pray: Lord Jesus, thank you for speaking my name and calling me to yourself. I speak your name over every hard thing in my life right now. Help me believe you are with me and in control! I want to see you change lives today, including mine. Open doors for me and make my heart so full of love for you and others that I can’t help but Speak Jesus to my small corner of the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Respond: There are many ways to Speak Jesus to our world! Speak Jesus today with a kind word and a smile. Through worship, reading the Bible, and praying. By sharing the truth and grace of Jesus with someone. And by joining the “We Speak Jesus” PRAISE 106.5 fundraiser May 2-5 and giving generously today.
