What's In A Name?

I ran across this in my devotional time recently-

Have you ever thought of the power behind our words when we say "I am a Christian?"
In this country we tend to throw that word around. Many saying it without any heart attachment.
But to be a Christian is to be an ambassador of Heaven. It is to be the face, hands and heart of God in our world.
The very word "Christian" sets us apart and puts us on the display shelf where the world will be looking on. To weigh us, to examine us, and yes to judge us.

What is this word- Christian?
an emotional word causing one man joy and another man fury-
one man peace and another man turmoil.
a dividing word unceasingly drawing a line. Either a man
is or he is not, either for or against.
a uniting word. Unlikely pairs drawn together
in work places and neighborhoods over one single bond.
a defining word for which countless people have lived and
countless people have died.

All for the name of Christ!
