Grace for your spirit April 30, 2013

Grace for your spirit
But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you; in the name of Jesus the Nazarene--walk!  Acts 3:6

When we do something in someone's name, we are doing it with their authority, their power, and their approval.  The name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are mentioned numerous times in order to proclaim the power of the Godhead to the world.  In the Great Commission, they were told to go, disciple and baptize in the name.  On the day of Pentecost, the apostles directed them to be baptized in the name of Jesus.  Here the power of healing through the hand of Peter is authorized by Jesus.  Wherever they went they wanted to emphasize that there was no other name under that has been given among men by which we must be saved.  Let's trust in the name of Jesus and go disciple in no other name.
