Acts 3:16-17 And his name through faith in his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know: yes… While infidelity is boastful, it is refreshing to note such facts as these: Eighty years ago, William Carey wrote from Bengal: "The people here hate the very name of Christ, and will not listen when His name is mentioned." To-day the Rev. W. R. James writes from Serampore: "By all means see to it that the name of Christ is plainly printed on the title-page of every book or tract that we print. We have now arrived at that point of time in the history of Christian missions in Bengal, when the name of Christ is more of a recommendation to a book than otherwise. Very often have I heard natives ask for a 'Life of Jesus Christ' in preference to any other book." Parallel Verses KJV: And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. |
