JESUS
Jesus. The Greek spelling is Iesous, transliterated from the Hebrew Yeshu’a (Joshua). Keep in mind that Christ’s earthly family spoke a Semitic language closely related to Hebrew (called Aramaic), so He would have been called Yeshu’a. One of the things I like best is that it was a common name. After all, Jesus came to seek and to save common people like me. Most pointedly, the name Jesus means “Savior.”
Others may have shared the name, but no one else would ever share the role. We have much to learn about Jesus, the Savior. I can hardly wait!
