2️⃣ What was Jesus’ name originally? Jesus’ earthly name was: - Hebrew/Aramaic: Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) - Meaning: “YHWH saves” or “The LORD is salvation” So when Scripture says there is power in His name, it is speaking of: His identity, authority, nature, and divine mission — not the spelling. 3️⃣ Why does the Bible say there is 💥 POWER in His name? Because a name in Scripture represents authority. 📖 Key Truth: In biblical thinking, a name = who someone IS, not what they’re called. 4️⃣ The Bible is VERY clear about the power in His name 🔥 Authority & Salvation “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12 This is about exclusive authority, not phonetics. 🔥 Supreme Authority in Heaven & Earth “God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name…” — Philippians 2:9–11 This refers to rank, dominion, and lordship. 🔥 Power Over Demons & Darkness “In My name they will cast out demons…” — Mark 16:17 Demons respond not to syllables, but to who He is. 5️⃣ So does saying “Jesus” still matter? YES—because God honors faith, not pronunciation. - English says Jesus - Spanish says Jesús - Hebrew says Yeshua - Arabic says Isa 👉 Same Lord. Same authority. Same power. God is not confused by language. He responds to faith in His Son. 6️⃣ The REAL significance (this is the heart ❤️) The enemy loves arguments about letters, dates, and linguistics because they distract from the truth: 💥 The power is not in the letter J— The power is in the RISEN CHRIST. The authority comes from: - His death - His resurrection - His victory - His Lordship 7️⃣ Why the Name still shakes hell today Because the name Jesus represents: - 🩸 The blood of the Lamb - ✝️ The finished work of the cross - 👑 The King of Kings - ⚔️ The One who defeated Satan “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” — Philippians 2:10

1 Peter 4:16 “Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name” Peter gives three clear commands and reveals a divine purpose behind such suffering. 1️⃣ “If anyone suffers as a Christian” Peter is very specific: This is not suffering because of sin, foolishness, or wrongdoing (see 1 Peter 4:15). It is suffering because you belong to Christ. Biblical Examples • Jesus Christ – Rejected, beaten, crucified for who He was (see Isaiah 53:3) • Stephen – Killed for preaching Jesus (Acts 7:54–60) • Apostle Paul – Imprisoned, beaten, mocked (2 Corinthians 11:23–27) • Apostle Peter – Later crucified for Christ (John 21:18–19) 📌 Truth: If you follow Christ faithfully, opposition is inevitable “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” — 2 Timothy 3:12 ⸻ 2️⃣ “Let him not be ashamed” The world uses shame to silence believers. God commands boldness without embarrassment. Biblical Examples • The Apostles – Rejoiced after being beaten “They left the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.” — Acts 5:41 • Daniel – Public prayer despite death threat (Daniel 6) • Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego – Refused to bow, even facing fire (Daniel 3) 📌 Truth: Shame is a weapon of the enemy; confidence honors God “Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will acknowledge before My Father.” — Matthew 10:32 ⸻ 3️⃣ “But let him glorify God in that name” Suffering does not dishonor God — how you endure it can glorify Him. Biblical Examples • Job – Worshiped God in loss (Job 1:20–22) • Paul & Silas – Sang praises in prison (Acts 16:25) • Jesus on the Cross – Obedience glorified the Father — John 17:1 📌 Truth: God is glorified when faith stands firm under pressure. ⸻ 🎯 Is There a Purpose in This Suffering? Yes — Scripture gives multiple divine purposes: ⸻ 🔥 1. Refinement & Purification “Though now for a little while… you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith… may result in praise.”
