“I Told You That Name Was Holy!”

John 14: 13, 14: “Whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My Name, I will do it.” So, is the Name of Jesus like a magic word, Carte Blanc, to get anything we want from God? Sorry, no. In biblical understanding one’s name indicates their character. Asking in Jesus’ Name means asking what Jesus would ask, in the way He would ask it. That’s what glorifies the Father, which should always be our goal in everything we do.
