The name of Jesus demands allegiance. It brings division because it forces a choice — neutrality is not an option. We are choosing to lift Jesus’ name against divided loyalties and worldly wisdom.
The apostles refuse to stop speaking in Jesus’ name, declaring, “We must obey God rather than men.” His name calls us to courage and obedience above all else.
Jesus' life on earth was to glorify the father in heaven and make him known. We too can make that our life's purpose again, to glorify God in all things.
