The Supreme Name

 Embracing the Power and Authority of Jesus Chris t Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Today, I write to remind you of the supreme power and authority held within the name of Jesus. In a world filled with countless names and titles, it is crucial for us to grasp the significance of His name and its transformative impact on our lives.

His name represents His eternal nature, His sovereignty, and His redemptive work on the cross. In the name of Jesus, we find our salvation. Acts 4:12 proclaims, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
