How to Walk Worthy of His Name
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Ephesians 4.1-3, 31-32
The name Alexander the Great is found recorded throughout history books. History tells us that he was a very strict and disciplined leader. While out in the field of battle, one of his soldiers got out of line. In fact, it was so severe that he was brought before Alexander the Great!
You can imagine the fear and dread in the heart of this soldier knowing he was being brought before this great leader. Well .. as he stood before Alexander the Great, this great leader looked him in the eyes and asked, ''Soldier, what's your name?'' With hesitation .. he said, ''Sir, my name is Alexander.''
''Alexander?'' he asked. ''That's my name and you're behaving like that? Soldier, you either change your name or change your conduct.''
I believe there are times when God wants to call us in to ask, ''What's your name?'' And we say, ''Christian, Sir.'' And then for God to say, ''Christian? With your behavior? Either change your name or change your conduct.''
In our time together tonight .. I want to show you from the Word of God how to walk worthy of His name! Once Christ comes to dwell within you, you forever bear His name: Christian .. which means little Christ's!
Folks, His reputation is bound up in you and me! That tells me that Christ's reputation is at risk every day you go to work, every day you go to school!
Jesus said, ''If you've seen Me, you've seen the Father.'' In other words, ''if you want to know what the Father's like, just look at me.'' And in the same way, ''if you want to know what Jesus is like, just look at me.'' Weather you like it or not .. the people in this city are watching you to see the truth about Jesus! And I'm just wondering: are you telling the truth about Jesus these days?
Some of the worst enemies of Jesus are His own followers! Those in our city without a relationship with Jesus often remain that way because they do ...
