A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
William Shakespeare
“What’s in a name?” quoth the hero in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. And verily what doth it mean to speak in the name of another? I am delighted thou wouldst ask.
Christians the world over dare to pray in God’s name. In the name of Jesus…; In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. The words begin and end so many prayers. But are they so formulaic that the full meaning is lost on the lips of the speaker? What’s in a name, indeed?
