names of God: Jesus

names of God: Jesus by ric gustafson


Matthew 1:21- ' And she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins'


This term refers to God the Son. Jesus is the Greek translation of the name Yeshua. In this passage, an angel explains to Joseph of the importance of the son Mary would soon bear. The name of Jesus is an Old English translation of a Greek translation of a Hebrew name. The prophet Isaiah predicted that the Messiah's name would be Immanuel. Immanuel means God with us.
We who are followers of Jesus call him Savior and love him.
