"The Name Jesus" by Bro. Luke Gray in the 1966 Atlanta Revival

"I'm so glad that the name fits Him very well - He saved His people from their sins." 

Preaching at a special singing to a group of folks from various crowds and denominations, Bro. Luke paints a poignant picture of Jesus triumphant over sin and death. 

I have heard stories of Uncle Luke since I was a young boy, all good, all about how good a communicator he was, but I'd only heard one recording of his preaching until this one. After this sermon I feel like I know him. This sermon was delivered some 50 years ago, but the power and spirit of the message are real today.  If you are like me and did not have the privilege of knowing this vessel personally, I encourage you to listen to this sermon.  The gospel we believe and preach, the life of Jesus that we know in our hearts; it was as real then as it is now, and this thought gives me hope.  These are strange and turbulent times, but the comfort of the Holy Ghost and the saving power of the living Jesus are neither strange nor turbulent.  The rock we stand on is Jesus!
