I was deeply offended by the screaming headline and accompanying photo in Monday’s edition of The Free Press.

That you should have as the leading headline — “North Mankato cracks down on ‘eyesores’” — and then attach to it the photo of a billboard with the name Jesus inscribed on it, would be highly offensive to anyone who looks to Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

I think you could have found any one of many other billboards to drive home your point. I am not a member of the church that sponsors that particular billboard, nor do I agree with many of their teachings, but I do hold sacred the name that they have posted on their billboard.

The Apostle Paul says of that name that is above every name: “Neither is there salvation in any other: For there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12, KJV).
