Do you know that the name JESUS is actually the name of the
Godhead. Remember that JESUS CHRIST is the embodiment or likeness of the Godhead (Col. 1: 15, 19; 2: 9; 3: 11, 2Cor. 4: 4b, John 1: 14, 16; 3: 34; 14: 7 - 11, Heb. 1: 3). So the Godhead said: "Let the Word of God be called by our name as He goes to earth." JESUS (or the Hebrew variant YEHOSHUA / YESHUA) literally means YAHWEH is Salvation or Righteousness or if you like: The Lord Saves (Jer. 23: 5 - 6; 33: 15 - 16). The Father is Yahweh. The Son is Yahweh. The Holy Spirit is Yahweh. So anytime you mention JESUS! The Godhead answer you. The Godhead show up and say what can I do for you (John 14: 13 - 14; 16: 23 - 24, 26, Rom. 10: 13)? In John 17: 11 - 12 the Word of God (Jesus) attested and said: "Father I kept them in IN THY NAME, which thou has GIVEN ME... (RSV)." In John 14: 26, it is written of the Spirit: "But the Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send IN MY NAME... (RSV)." So when Jesus said to us: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you... (Mathew 28: 19 - 20). He was actually saying : Go in my name - JESUS - and carry out actions, do wonders and turn the nations to me - all in my name, all through my name, all by my name and all for my name (Eph. 1: 1 - 23, Phil. 2: 5 - 11, Heb. 1 - 4).
