I have recently been thinking about something. I often notice that as a Christian, it is comfortable to talk about our “God” in a certain way.

It is mentioned often that “God” is this, or The “Lord” does that. or the “Lord our God” there are many references to God in this way, or similar ways.

Why though is it uncomfortable to openly just say “JESUS”. it is like we have to hide the name of Jesus, but we can say God or Lord.

The difference between Christianity is that we believe that Jesus is God. One of the 3 in the trinity. God the Father, God the Son, “Jesus”, and the Holy Spirit. This is what sets things apart! Without Jesus and what He did for us on the cross, and the Fact that He rose from the dead, and is alive is the difference between us and many other religions. Morman, Jehovah Witness, World Religions. They all believe in Jesus, but they don’t believe in the Deity of Jesus. The reason I believe we struggle with saying this name, is that there is Power, in His name. Satan doesn’t want us to speak with Power an Authority. Proclaim Jesus to all the world. This is what He said to us. With Jesus on our side, what do we have to be afraid of?

When talking about Christianity in the future, I challenge you to use the Name, “Jesus” in your conversation, your posts on social media. Don’t be afraid to share the Truth with others.

Mark 16

Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.
But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either.

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
