Where did the name "Jesus" come from?

יְהוֹשֻׁעַ - Yehoshua is the Hebrew name for the Savior and Messiah, given to his parents by the Messenger of Yehovah. It’s the same name given to Joshua the son of Nun by Moses, Numbers 13:16.

The Aramaic name Yeshua has been used in the time of Messiah and in our modern times. The Greek name Ieosus used from the 4th century till 14th century and the Savior’s English name Jesus from 16th century till today. We would think His Hebrew or Aramaic name is what the Messiah was really called when he was on earth.

So should we use any name for the Messiah or Savior? Does it matter?

Yehoshua means “Yehovah is Salvation,” for He is the salvation that God has provided for mankind, Acts 4:12. We joyfully accept the names revealed by our glorious Heavenly Father Yehovah and His wonderful Son, our Savior Yehoshua the Messiah.

Yehoshua is the Spokesman, the Logos or Word (Hebrew Dabar) Who was created by the Father and was with Yehovah the Father, Genesis 1:26; John 1:1-3; 8:58; 13:3; 1Corinthians 10:4; Colossians 1:15-17.

He emptied Himself of His celestial glory, making Himself of no reputation and took upon Himself the form of a human, a servant, John 17:5; Philippians 2:5-7; Hebrews 2:6-14; Was born of a virgin by the power of God, Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:18, 23; Luke 1:26-38; Came in His Father’s Name, YEHO-shua, John 5:43. He lived a sinless life; Isaiah 53:9; 1Peter 2:22,

Was resurrected from the dead by the Father after three days and three nights according to the Scriptures, Matthew 12:40; Acts 3:15; 1Corinthians 15:3-4;

Has now ascended into heaven sitting on the right hand of Yehovah our Father, Luke 24:51; Hebrews 1:13.

He is now our Advocate, our Mediator and High Priest, Hebrews 3:1; Hebrews 4:14;

Through Him only can we approach the Heavenly Father, John 14:6.
