Bible Question: what does the name jesus mean |
Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome to the forum. The name Jesus was first used, though in a different form, back in the Old Testament. The one who delivered the people of God from their wonderings in the desert into the promise land, Joshua. The proper Hebrew spelling is yehoshua, pronounced, yeh-ho-shoo-ah. The meaning is the same in Hebrew and Greek, “God is salvation”. When looking at the word in the Koine Greek of the New Testament it is Iesous and pronounced, ee-ay-sooce, which when used in the English we pronounce it Jesus. Notice what it says in the following: Isaiah 7:14 (ASV) 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. This not a so much a name as it is a title. In proper English format it would be, “with us is God.” Luke 2:11 (ASV) 11 for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. This verse is telling us the same thing that is said in Isaiah 7:14, i.e. the one born to the human race this day is none other then the very Lord God Himself. This was determined from the divine decree from eternity past, when it was decided by the God Head that the second person of the trinity would voluntarily become a human being. As God He can’t die because God is eternal life but as a man could die. By doing this the Second person of the Trinity would be the anointed and appointed one, for the payment of the penalty for man’s sin. This isn't imputed to anyone until they have total undivided faith in the work trhat Jesus accomplished on the cross. From the time He became Jesus the Christ, at that point in time He became the most unique individual in existence. He is different then God the Father and God the Holy Spirit in that He is a man. He is different then any man in that He is God; He is the God Man. He is 100 percent God and at the same time He is 100 percent man; He is the God Man. Hebrews 1:6-8 (KJV) 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
