Taking on the name of Jesus could open us up for persecution and ridicule. The name of Jesus has put me in circumstances of argument regarding who he is and why he is the only one back to the Father. I chose not to argue, but through scripture had to prove who He is. I put on Jesus when sharing the word with others, through prayer, reconciling the lost to Christ and by actions. We can simply take on the name of Jesus through our actions without saying a word.
