It’s been reported that a child said, “Daddy, why was Jesus given the name of a swear word?” When I read this I was shocked that the name of Jesus that stands for everything pure and beautiful was so degraded that even a child was amazed. Why should anybody pick on the name of Jesus out of all the millions of names on earth and then abuse it so appallingly?! There is only one answer to this question and Jesus summed it up when He said, “This is the verdict that Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” [John 3:19]
One thing’s certain, a true Christian will never use the name of Jesus as a swear word!
