YESHUA
Salvation
Many people don’t understand the importance of a name. When people hear your name, what do they think about it? What type of person are you? What have you done to better the lives of others? What’s in the name?
You see, the name Jesus in Hebrew is Yeshua, which means “salvation”. So, when Jesus went to the house of tax collector named Zacharias and said today, “salvation has come to this house” He was making a point because “salvation”, Jesus came to Zachary’s house that day. (Luke 19:9).
The translation also gives us significance verses like surely “God is my salvation”, (Isaiah 12:2) also “the Lord has become my salvation”. (Exodus 25:2). The Hebrew translation of these verses would use the word Yeshua for “salvation”.
We all have a name. Our name identifies us, and for some of us it defines our credibility and even our reputation. But the Scriptures say that only one name can shine light in dark darkness, bring hope to hopelessness, and heal the brokenhearted. His name is Jesus, is our salvation. How would your life change if your identity and reputation was built on the name of Jesus? Can others see Jesus in you?
