healing and for strengthening. The Name, that is, the whole Christ,
in His nature, His offices, His work, His Incarnation, His Life, His
Death, Resurrection, Session at the right hand of God--it is this
Christ whose Name made that man strong, and will make us strong.
Brethren, let us remember that, while fragments of the Name will have
fragmentary power, as the curative virtue that resides in any
substance belongs to the smallest grain of it, if detached from the
mass--whilst fragments of the Name of Christ have power, thanks be to
Him! so that no man can have even a very imperfect and rudimentary
view of what Jesus Christ is and does, without getting strength and
healing in proportion to the completeness of his conception, yet in
order to realise all that He can be and do, a man must take the whole
Christ as He is revealed.

The Early Church had a symbol for Jesus Christ, a fish, to which they
were led because the Greek word for a fish is made up of the initials
of the words which they conceived to be the Name. And what was it?
'_Jesus Christ_, _God's Son_, _Saviour_'; _Jesus_, humanity;
_Christ_, the apex of Revelation, the fulfilment of prophecy, the
Anointed Prophet, Priest, and King; _Son of God_, the divine nature:
and all these, the humanity, the Messiahship, the divinity, found
their sphere of activity in the last name, which, without them, would
in its fulness have been impossible--_Saviour_. He is not such a
Saviour as He may be to each of us, unless our conception of the Name
grasps these three truths: His humanity, His Messiahship, His
divinity. 'His Name has made this man strong.'

II. Notice how the power of the Name comes to operate.

Now, if you will observe the language of my text, you will note that
