Of course, God spared Joseph this burden. In both the announcement to Mary and in Joseph’s own dream, the angelic instructions were clear: name him Jesus. So here during the first week of Advent, which began this past weekend, on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, we mark the giving of the name that is now the single most recognized name the w...
The English Joshua and Jesus come from one Hebrew name: Yeshua. So Joshua is the name Mary would have heard when the angel first spoke it. “You shall call his name Yeshua” (Luke 1:31) — one of the great names in the history of God’s people.

But not only will he be surpassingly great, but then comes the announcement that would seem even more surreal to Joseph and Mary: this child is the Messiah, the long-promised, long-anticipated “Anointed One.” He was coming to fulfill God’s promise to David in 2 Samuel 7, concerning one who would not only sit on David’s throne but do so forever.

It is the Father who saves, through the Son. The helper of Moshe, YeHoshua, was called Hoshea, prior to his receiving his new name (Num 13:16).
Nov 17, 2023 · Most scholars, therefore, believe that Jesus’ real name was actually “Yeshua,” a fairly common Jewish name around the time Jesus was alive. Archaeologists have actually found the name carved into 71 burial caves in Israel, dating from the time the historical Jesus of Nazareth would have been alive.
If His name was Yeshua, why do we call Him Jesus? Yeshua is the Hebrew spelling or equivalent of the name Jesus. Therefore, some Messianic Jews and others claim He should be referred to by this name.
Jun 13, 2024 · In short, those who insist we exclusively call Jesus Christ Yeshua are overlooking the fact that how the Messiah's name is translated is not essential to salvation. English speakers call him Jesus, with a "J" that sounds like "gee."
Jul 13, 2024 · According to Jewish customs, Jesus’ parents, Mary and Joseph, would have called Him Yeshua, and His disciples would have known Him by this name. The concern for accuracy extends beyond mere phonetic correctness; it encompasses the spiritual and cultural dimensions that the name represents.
