What's in a Name

One religion I know of says that there are 99 names of God known to man, but only the camel knows God’s 100th name. However, the apostle Paul had something to say about that in Colossians 1:25-227.

"God gave me...the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord's people...which is CHRIST in you, the hope of glory.” And part of this mystery is that Jesus Christ is God. So we can tell people who only know 99 names of God that we know the 100th name of God: Jesus!

“Jesus" is not just a name, it is a title (“Savior”), and it is powerful, as is shown inActs 3:6, "Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” And the man was healed.

The demons must obey it,  In Acts 6:18 Paul said to a demon in a girl,'In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!' At that moment the spirit left her."

It is the name of the King who is to be obeyed, as it says in Phil. 2:10, “... at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth….”

Jesus promised us: "And I will do whatever you ask in my name….”  John 14:13

The name of  Jesus is power, light, wisdom, a doorway to grace and an honor to the Father. Let’s remember that and live/think accordingly!
