TODAY’S WORD…
.
There is salvation in no one else [but Jesus]!
God has given no other name under heaven
by which we must be saved.
.
– Acts 4:12 (NLT)
.
.
.
REFLECTION…
.
Salvation is to be found through Jesus alone
and the invocation of the name of Jesus is all-powerful
because it is our Saviour’s own name
.
According to the Hebrew root,
the name Jesus in fact means saviour.
.
The Catechism of St. Pius V says this about the name of Jesus:
“Jesus is…a name given to Him not accidentally,
or by the judgment or will of man,
but by the counsel and command of God […].
All other names which prophecy gave to the Son of God
– Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace –
all are comprised in this one name Jesus;
for while they partially signified the salvation which He was to bestow on us,
this name [Jesus] included the force and meaning of all human salvation."
.
Our Lord Himself told His Apostles this:
" If you ask anything of the Father in my name,
He will give it to you. (Jn 16:23),
.
Today, as ever, the power of His name
works wonders in the souls of those who call upon Him.
Don’t, therefore, be afraid to call our Lord by His name – Jesus –
and to tell Him that you love Him!
