What is the actual value of your name? How much significance do people place on your reputation when they discuss or reflect on you? People often say that a good name holds greater worth than silver or even the finest gold. Within the realm of names, some are mere labels, while others are powerful keys capable of unlocking opportunities. Conversely, specific names may provoke aversion and rejection. Some names carry immense weight, and their signatures hold unparalleled value, etched into history due to remarkable deeds, whether virtuous or malevolent.
In the biblical narrative in Acts 19:11-20, we encounter the intriguing story of the Sons of Sceva. These individuals witnessed the astonishing miracles Paul and his companions performed, particularly their ability to cast out demons. However, the Sons of Sceva were unaware that the names of Paul and the apostles were infused with genuine power and authority bestowed upon them by Jesus Christ. Blinded by their own ambition, they mistakenly believed they could emulate the apostles’ miraculous feats for financial gain.
Their misguided attempt would lead to dire consequences. In a dramatic encounter, an evil spirit addressed them, saying, “I know Jesus, and I recognize Paul, but who are you?” This powerful challenge forces us to reflect on our identities and the weight of our names. What legacy do we carry? What impact do we leave behind?
Yes, who are you?
