There is no other name

A recent sermon prompted me to look up the name of Jesus, and what it represents. May these few verses below edify us and give us strength and courage when we can't seem to see beyond our circumstances and when all things appear hopeless. There is always hope because there is Christ. *smile*

This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved." She kept this up for many days.
