Atheist, fear the name of Jesus

The ever angry atheist.

It seems every tweet or post that mentions Jesus has a angry person who doesn't believe in God but is monitoring the web to bash your faith.

example: "Prayer is pointless and so is your faith." or "Sick people like you think your empty thoughts have meaning."

Pulled from my personal account, sent to me by the random stranger, based solely on the #Jesus. I wished him peace, offered prayer and let it wash under the bridge.

But then I became convicted over this, how angry does one have to be to hide behind non-belief, but monitor for the mention of a name. How broken do you need to be? Just a chance to bash the believer to strike at the Father. How does an organization in one state raise funds to sue to remove a picture of Jesus that has been hanging over 50 years in the same place. They of course won and the school must pay 95k in fines. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/10/07/ohio-school-district-agrees-to-keep-portrait-jesus-off-wall-pay-5g-fine/


But how angry do you have to be? how hurt?

Have you ever heard of anyone bashing Buddhist in the name of freedom from religion. Or have you ever seen an atheist attacking Islamic rights. No in fact foot washing stations are going in all over the place. At tax payers expense. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/06/san-francisco-airport-uses-public-money-to-construct-foot-washing-station-for-muslims.html

So why no uproar, simple, it is the name of Jesus. There is power in the name. Its why they seek to get rid of the name, they seek to rid society of the pictures. It bothers the atheist, because in the presence of Jesus they are afraid, because his victory is undeniable.

Philippians 2:9–11 

pTherefore God also qhas highly exalted Him and rgiven Him the name which is above every name, 10 sthat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and tthat every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

John 14:12–14

12 p“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 qAnd whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be rglorified in the Son. 14 If you 3ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Pray for our lost brothers, there pain reaches the ears of Jesus in heaven. Every denial a plea, oh how he must want to rush to comfort them, pray the Holy Spirit give opportunity, and may men of God move with boldness to share the love of Jesus in these hurting lives.
