A good name is to be more desired than great wealth. (Proverbs 22: 1)

The way someone lives can change your whole outlook on a name.

What would God name His son? What would men call Him… and why?

“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. ” (Mathew 1: 21)

Jesus is the Greek form of the Old Testament Jewish name, YESHUA. In English most of us know it better in it’s Old Testament Biblical form as JOSHUA.

The Name: In its Old Testament Hebrew form – “Yahweh is salvation” or “Yahweh rescues”.

The impact of Matthew 1: 21 is that the angels’ words attribute to Jesus what was previously reserved for God.

JESUS SAVES! Yahweh come among us Immanuel

“Salvation is found in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. ” (Acts 4: 12)

Jesus is not merely a spokesman for God or a prophet telling about God. He is GOD!

Mark 2: 3 -12 3 And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men. 4 Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

5 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven. ” 6 But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone? ”

8 Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, “Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say,

‘Get up, and pick up your pallet and walk? ’ 10“But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”--He said to the paralytic, 11“I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home. ”

12 And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this. ”

“Son, your sins are forgiven. ”

One of two conclusions was true: Jesus was either God on earth or guilty of blasphemy.

The Credibility Factor: Saying “your sins are forgiven” was easier than “get up, take up your mat and walk, ” because the latter was testable in a way the former was not.

He proved He was deity among us who could save people from their sin.

Only in His name and by the salvation found in Him can we be declared right with God.
