Does His name really matter? The Scriptures state that His name has great power and authority attached to it! So does it matter if the fallowing is used as His name... Jesus or Yahweh or Yahwashwah or Yeshua or Yashua or ???? Didnt He, Himself, say that He was going to get a new name?

Rev. 3:20

Jesus shows some rather interesting things in Rev.3:20: 1. This was part of His messages to the seven churches[General message first]

2. He is knocking at our door/heart/mind of all members of the seven churches [Private/Personal message next]

3. We first have to be aware of His knock(This can be unheard due to cares of life; unwillingness to live according to the commandments; etc.

4. Once we are aware of the knocking, we have the choice of opening our door/heart/mind toJesus ....... or we can choose not to open the door, to our eternal hurt.

5.Jesus states that once we open the door/heart/mind to Him, His intention is to enter into a personal, intimate relationship with us.

Everything thus revolves around us......our awareness of Jesus and our response to Him.

He is definitelydoing His bit...how are we doing  with ours?

Re: Scott Dudley
You are right. We are required to spread the word. I happened on a blog recently whereby a question reported the difficulty of leading others to Jesus in a clearly and atheistic West where money and material aspirations outweigh spirituality by the masses. A given answer illustrated the difficulties faced by the disciples of Jesus. They managed to spread the 'Good News' despite widespread persecution of Christians unto death. Surely it is easier today than in their day.

Jesus Love Never Fails
When Jesus found me, I had a lot of problems. The Word of God is alive, and I was overwhelm when He save me from my sin.  I am not worthy for his love but I thank Him in saving my life that I can live now a life with Jesus! To God,  the Father be the glory forever in the name of Jesus Amen!

Rev. 3:20

 Why is this always mis-used? Jesus is talking to the Church of Sardis.

So many claim promises in the Bible that are given to specific people, not all. Try using the correct verses. There are verses that are pointed to anyone who calls on His name.

How he does it.... How he stays so real, and approachable, yet so pure, powerful, and holy at the same time. I would want to talk about ideas and concepts & how He came up with everything in creation - like food, and flowers & love!

we should strive to live our life for Christ, to be close to Christ in all things that we do, not only in a one-to-one meal with Jesus, but in a one-to-one close personal relationship with Christ. When we awake praise Jesus, as we go through the day ask for Jesus` presence in our lives, to bless our food, to worship Jesus and thank God for giving us Jesus so that we may be forgiven, saved and be so loved.

as you all know jesus is also a good friend and so if we were eating together i would ask him many questions and talk like a true friend does but the most important question to me would be what is the meaning of life?
