#12530 Explaining The Holy Name of Jesus - Tom Nash

Listen Later

This Catholic Answers Live episode explores the biblical and theological meaning of the name of Jesus, explaining why the Church celebrates a feast in His honor and how Scripture uses His name to express authority, presence, and saving power. The discussion clarifies why Jesus is called both Jesus and Emmanuel, what it means to gather, pray, and believe “in His name,” and why invoking the name of Jesus is not a magical formula. Listeners also learn why baptisms performed only “in the name of Jesus” are invalid and what the mysterious name written on the foreheads in the Book of Revelation signifies.
