The Name is Savior

In Christian, The Name

Numbers 13:16 records that Moses rechristened the mighty military warrior Oshea (meaning Salvation) to Jehoshua (meaning Jehovah is Salvation). Jehoshua is commonly known as Joshua, who delivered (brought Salvation) Israel in 3 military campaigns from 30+ enemy armies. Though Joshua (Or Oshea) lead the military campaigns, he depended on Jehoshua and it was Jehoshua that was the Salvation for His people.

Matthew 1:21 records that the name that was ordained to be given to the Son of God, before his birth is Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. Luke 2:11, records that upon the birth of the Son of God, the promulgation stated that For us (unto you)  is born this day, in the City of David,  a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Jesus said, I and the Father are One (John 10:30). We see this even in the Name – Savior. There is no other Savior besides the LORD God the Father (Isaiah 43:11) and Jesus means Savior. This accentuates the fact that Jehovah (God the Father) and Jesus are one in essence, with different personalities and the fact remains that God is Salvation and His name is Savior. I even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no Savior (Isaiah 43:11) and the Savior born is Christ (Jesus), the Lord.

As a good shepherd willingly lays down his life to snatch a sheep from the mouth of  a lion, Jesus (the Savior) laid down his life to snatch us (the sheep) from the mouth of a lion (the devil who is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour).  The life and death question now is this – Do you the Name? Do you know Jesus as your Savior? God will save you/me from your/my sin and the devil, if we ask him to. The Name is Savior.

Jesus’ Last Name !

We know Jesus most commonly referred to as Jesus Christ. So is Christ His Last Name? Ever wondered as to what the Last Name of Jesus is?

What is the Last Name of Jesus?
Since the times of Jesus was most probably a Patriarchical society, it would be safe to assume that Jesus would have been called Jesus Joseph. However, should there have been a women’s liberation equality rights movement, then his name may have been recorded as Jesus Joseph-Mary (less likely) and being born a Jew from the line of David, it is absolutely possible that Jesus’ name in his birth certificate (if one existed) was recorded as Jesus ben Joseph (Jesus the son of Joseph).

Actually, it does not matter what the last name of Jesus was. What matters most is whether you and I know Jesus as the Christ.

Christ means Messiah, the Savior. Matt 1:21 records that the earthly parents of Jesus (Joseph & Mary) were commission by God, told by God’s angel, that they were to call the child that was to be born – Jesus for He shall save his people from their sins. This would be the Messiah (the Christ). So in a sense, it was God who gave Jesus, Christ as his last name (title).

The Bible records in the book of Isaiah 9:6 – For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given. Child is born refers to the humanity of Jesus; a Son is given refers to the divinity of Jesus.

For God so loved the world that He GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever believes in Him (in Jesus) shall not perish (in hell) but have everlasting life (in heaven). – John 3:16

Do you know Him as Christ, your Messiah, your Savior? To know Jesus as Christ is to Believe in Him as the son of God given unto the salvation of mankind from hell and acceptance into heaven to reign with God.
