“I Nothing Did They Work Miracles Save It Were in the Name of Jesus”
We are the servants of the Lord, who is our Master, and he has commanded us to labor in his fields—plowing, sowing, cultivating, and harvesting. That is, we are the agents of the Lord, who is our eternal principal, and he has empowered us to represent him and do the things he would do if he were personally present. When we do all things in his name in righteousness, it means that we put ourselves in his place and stead, that we think and speak and act as he would in the same situation. It means we live our lives as though we were the one whose blessed name we bear. Our acts become his acts—they are done in his name. (Robert L. Millet and Joseph Fielding McConkie, In His Holy Name, p. 36.)
