Have you ever noticed that when you walk into a room filled with people,that when you mention the name of Jesus the atmosphere in the room suddenly changes. Suddenly you can hear a pin drop. That is the authority and power in the name of Jesus. You can say Mohamed, Buddha, Krishna, but when you say Jesus people start to get nervous.
When Annas the high priest quizzed Peter by what authority he healed a sick person, Peter answered in Acts 4:10: let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
One of the last things Jesus said to His apostles before ascending up to heaven was about delegating authority in His name, as can be seen in Mark 16:15:“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 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.”
There is no other name but the name of Jesus by which we can be saved.
Acts 4:12: Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
