The name of Jesus is Good News, not disturbing or conscience jerking news.
Mark 6: 14- 29
King Herod became so disturbed at the mention of Jesus that he even confused him with John the Baptist. Not only was his curiosity piqued, his guilt awoke for killing John.
In modern times we hear of the name of Jesus almost everywhere. Modern communication has made it so that anyone anywhere can hear the name of Jesus in a variety of ways and at a faster speed. The question is, What does the name of Jesus mean to us?
Evangelization is about announcing the name of Jesus even to the ends of the earth. The intention is not to instill fear or cause confusion but to bring joy and lead people to God. St. Paul put it in this way. He said, “Every knee should bend at the name of Jesus and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father”. (Philippians 2: 10 – 11). The name of Jesus is Good News, not disturbing or conscience jerking news.
