Jesus Takes Over Times Square

Acts 4:12, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

For an hour on April 24th, New York City’s Times Square proclaimed the name of Jesus.

Hillsong Church bought all the screens in the square and played a loop of a video that flashed “Jesus” and “No Other Name”.  Hillsong is releasing a new album called “No Other Name” and is hosting conferences this year, but the video did not say anything about the church.

Hillsong members in the Square that night reported many passersby stopping to look at the display, openly wondering what business was behind the loop of Jesus and “No Other Name”.

“Times Square, one of the most iconic locations on Earth, is a place where so many names scream for fame,” Hillsong Art and Communications Director Jay Argaet said.  “The most powerful brands, biggest shows and famous celebrities.  Every name wants to be the greatest!  Perhaps this would be the most powerful way to remind the world HIS name trumps them all.”

The “No Other Name” campaign is based on Acts 4:12, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

  1. There it is…my boyhood home where I lived 5 decades. It is so encouraging to see such boldness as opposed to those absurd and wimpy “coexist” bumper stickers. Franklin Graham really is rockin and rollin when it comes to such “hate” speech as actually saying other belief systems are inherently wrong. So may we each be prepared to have our bug out bags and preppy stuff seized and prepare rather if you use the Name above all names with boldness and conviction, Keep looking up ya’ll at the sign and for that exceedingly loud shofar blast! Imagine: bam the graves open after that and an almost immeasurable amount of “time” we loose all our belongings and I suppose become clothed in Heavenly attire, sans the tie I hope, and no more exhibitions of the curse! HALLELUIA! GLORY TO HIM WHO WAS, IS AND ALWAYS BE! THANK YOU DADDY!
