The Name to Use

"If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:14).

What a wide promise! Anything! Whether large or small, all my needs are covered
by that word "anything". Come, my soul, be free at the mercy seat, and hear thy
LORD saying to thee, "Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it."

What a wise promise! We are always to ask in the name of Jesus. While this
encourages us, it also honors Him. This is a constant plea. Occasionally every
other plea is darkened, especially such as we could draw from our own relation
to God or our experience of His grace; but at such times the name of Jesus is
as mighty at the throne as ever, and we may plead it with full assurance. What
an instructive prayer! I may not ask for anything to which I cannot put
Christ's hand and seal. I dare not use my LORD's name to a selfish or willful
petition. I may only use my LORD's name to prayers which He would Himself pray
if He were in my case. It is a high privilege to be authorized to ask in the
name of Jesus as if Jesus Himself asked; but our love to Him will never allow
us to set that name where He would not have set it.

Am I asking for that which Jesus approves? Dare I put His seal to my prayer?
Then I have that which I seek of the Father.

He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. John. 6. 50, 51


1 The tender mercies of the Lord
On those that fear his name,
For every thankful tongue afford
An everlasting theme.

2 [He pities all that feel his fear, When wounded, pained or weak;
As tender mothers grieve to hear
Their infants moan when sick.]

3 He to the needy and the faint
His mighty aid makes known;
And, when their languid life is spent, Supplies it with his own.

4 The body in his bounty shares,
Sustained with corn and wine;
But for the soul himself prepares
A banquet more divine.

5 By faith received, his flesh and blood Shall life eternal give;
For he that eats immortal food,
Immortally must live.
