NAMES OF JESUS

What does it mean to pray in Jesus’s name? Jesus himself instructed us to do it (John 16:24), but do we understand it? To pray in Jesus' name means to pray in the authority of that name, much as we might use the phrase “in the name of the law” to assert the authority of the law.

The truth is, prayers are completely powerless in the first place unless they are “in Jesus.” Without Christ's intercession, no prayers would make it to the ears of God. The reason we are told to pray in and by His authority is not some magic formula, but to put our own spirits and our own thinking in the right place – under and in Him.

The Names of Jesus will you have a better understanding of our Lord and Savior, and hence give deeper meaning to our prayers.
