The Name of Jesus is the Name of our salvation.

"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Joel 2:32: Romans 10:13).


From the prophet Joel and the apostle Paul, we have this great promise of God. Between the prophet and the apostle, there is Jesus, the Saviour. The prophet points forward to Him. The apostle looks back to Him. The name, Jesus, was given to Him by God. It's a name with a meaning. It means, "Saviour" (Matthew 1:21), The Name of Jesus is the Name of our salvation. There's no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We praise God for faithful prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel ... We praise Him for faithful apostles - Peter, Paul, James, John ... We praise Him for Jesus. There's no-one else like Him. He's not one in a list of great prophets or great apostles. He's the Saviour, the only Saviour. To be saved, we don't call on the name of one of the prophets or apostles (or all of them!). We call on the Name of Jesus - and we are saved by Him.

May God's Blessing Surround You Each Day ...

God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).

Wonderful Grace of Jesus
