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.”
