The ‘Name of JESUS’ is Above Every Other Name in Heaven and Earth!
And at the ‘Name of JESUS’ every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that JESUS the Christ is LORD! And there is no other name ‘GIVEN’ among men whereby we can be saved! And the angel said, "you shall call His Name JESUS for He shall save His people from their sin."
JESUS the only name given. It is the word ‘GIVEN’ that needs to be recognized. Yes, the name given by an Angel who was a messenger of God. The name JESUS was not given by Mary or Joseph who were Jewish. Indeed, Mary and Joseph were told to call the child JESUS. The angel adding that His Name JESUS shall be called EMMANUEL (Hebrew) which by interpretation is defined as being GOD with us.(Greek)
JESUS was conceived of the Holy Spirit. In fact, JESUS was the SEED of the Holy Spirit. JESUS sin prone flesh may have been Jewish inasmuch as the embryo of the Holy Spirit SEED was to be clothed in flesh whilst in the womb of His surrogate mother Mary. But that is where it ends. The child was named by His Father who is none other than the Holy Spirit, and therefore bears the name JESUS as GIVEN by God! Again, according to the scriptures, His name is actually defined as God with us!
One ought not to attempt to explain away the meaning of the "name" that was "given" nor the heritage associated with that name -- which heritage is God! For the scriptures declare that JESUS is God with us and as such, is the message that we were intended to hear.
JESUS is of heaven and most definitely not bound to adhere to what we as created individuals would prefer to think. Rather, we should be recognizing the gospel message for what it states. That is, JESUS being God with us as a Son, and in JESUS does all the fullness of God dwell bodily!
Further, we need to recognize that all of the records of scripture found are all written in Greek. The only places where the Hebrew language is referred to in the New Testament is written in Hebrew and then immediately interpreted into Greek. For example, Emmanuel (Hebrew) when translated into Greek is God with us! Another is Golgotha (Hebrew) which was translated as the place of a skull (Greek).
The name JESUS in the New Testament is not presented as Yeshua or some other fabricated alternative as the erroneous teachings of the Jews present. If such were the case, then following the pattern of the aforementioned examples above, Yeshua (Hebrew) would immediately be followed by JESUS (Greek). Such is not the case for the name of JESUS is not a derivative of man’s doing, but instead, JESUS is a name GIVEN of God His Father without any consultation with mankind.
As well, the name of JESUS does not mean Saviour. However, the one who is named JESUS is mankind’s Only Saviour if we are to be saved. As it is written there is no salvation in any other name for there is no other name under Heaven ‘GIVEN’ among men whereby man can be saved! Let all the angels of God worship Him (JESUS)! God Bless You All !
