Power in the Name of Jesus - Acts 3-4

In these passage the writer (Luke) uses the phrase, "name of the Lord" or "name of Jesus" or refers to the "name" of Jesus nine times. In the book of Acts he uses it over 30 times. When the man was healed in Acts 3 it was because Peter used the name of and power of Jesus. I believe we have lost the faith in the power of His name. In our own personal temptation we forget that God is the only true and powerful God. In Isaiah 45:22-25 God tells Isaiah that He is the only who saves and restores and He can't swear by anything or anyone but Himself. We might "swear to God" when we want others to see we are being truthful. But, God has to swear by Himself because their is none bigger, better, purer or more powerful. When we read the rest of the story in Acts 3 and 4 we can see what God was able to do through this one act of faith in His powerful name. Praise God for the name of Jesus. Don't water it down. The world wants to turn the Name of Jesus into a swear word. The God of the universe swears by that name to save and restore to perfect health those who are torn, cripple and sinful (3:16)
