How
Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds - Lutheran Service Book #524
Acts 4:12; John 14:13; Acts 2:21
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It sooths our sorrows, heals our wounds,
And drives away our fear.
"There
is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven
given to the human race by which we are to be saved." Acts 4:12
You can't
help but notice the passion and exuberance of the Apostles in the weeks
following the resurrection. Their lives had been changed by a man named Jesus!
They wanted to share how we too could be saved. This season of Lent is an excellent
opportunity for us to tell others of the hope that is within us. As the early
Christians’ lives were changed by experiencing Jesus’ death and resurrection we
ask the Lord Jesus, allow me to know Your great love for me and help me to
share Your love with those I encounter. The very name of Jesus gives us peace,
comfort and assurance. How sweet is the name of the Savior in the ear of the
believer.
Almighty
God, You gave Your only-begotten son to take our nature upon Himself. Grant
that we, Your adopted children by grace, may daily be renewed by Your Holy
Spirit; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.[1]
