Jesus came into this world in the name of his Father
John 5:43–44 (NJB): 43 I have come in the name of my Father and you refuse to accept me; if someone else should come in his own name you would accept him. 44 How can you believe, since you look to each other for glory and are not concerned with the glory that comes from the one God?
Jesus and Father is One. Still we refuse to believe in him. If some one else coming in their name we will accpet him because we do not have the discernment to know who Jesus is. We are looking to others how we are glorified and look for the praise from them. We should honour our Lord Jesus Christ, and in him we found the salvation. Jesus came into this world by His Father’s Word, Jesus is the Word took flesh from Mother Mary. We should read and meditate the Word of God day and night to get the closeness to God. Lest Jesus will pass away swiftly from us before we recognise him unless we are not attentive to his Word, as St Ambrose explains: “This is the person Christ has loved in loving you, the person he has chosen in choosing you. He enters by the open door; he has promised to come in, and he cannot deceive. Embrace him, the one you have sought; turn to him, and be enlightened; hold him fast, ask him not to go in haste, beg him not to leave you. The Word of God moves swiftly; he is not won by the lukewarm, nor held fast by the negligent. Let your soul be attentive to his word; follow carefully the path God tells you to take, for he is swift in his passing.” St Ambrose on Virginity
