US evangelist Pastor Benny Hinn preached about the power of Jesus' name.
remember, in the book of Acts, Peter and John was walking through the temple gate called Beautiful and there was a beggar there who ask Peter and John for money. Peter said, 'silver and gold have i none. but in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk'. and the beggar was walking and leaping. it was the first ever recording, that Jesus' name was used.

not the great prophet Isaiah or Jeremiah had the priviledge to use Jesus' Name. but one of the lowest group of people of that time, fishermen, had the priviledge to use Jesus' Name. God called the weak and ordinary to be the tools of God.

it is through the power of Jesus' name that people are healed and demons cast out. and not just physical healing, but also healing of the heart, soul and mind. it is through Jesus that there is the possibility of forgiveness of sins and a revival in the spirit.

remember how Jesus stopped the public from stoning a woman caught for adultery? He said, 'those that have not sinned throw the first stone' and the crowd slowly fade away. just as the imperfect can't condemn the imperfect, the imperfect also cannot forgive the sins of the imperfect. we can forgive to rebuild the relationship/friendship but not the sins. and only someone perfect can forgive... only God can forgive... Jesus Christ.

a perfect person, Jesus Christ, has died. but that is not suppose to be because only those that has sinned will die. and because of the break in logic, the grip of sin and death has been brokened. there is hope now, of redemption and of life.

why are true Christians claiming, that there is hope in the world? because of the simple message that there IS hope. no big words. there IS... in Jesus Christ.
