JESUS, the name given by God.
Luke 1:31 — You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:21 — She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.
JESUS is the Greek form of the Hebrew name “Joshua.”
Joshua brought the children of Israel into rest — into the promised land. Numbers 13:16 — These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.) Hebrews 4:8 — For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day.
The name JESUS includes the name Jehovah (1st element).
Jehovah means: God; the Mighty One; God the Almighty; the great I AM — the one who is now in the present; the one who was in the past; and the one who will be in the future. “I am whatever you need.” Exodus 3:13,14 — Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
The name JESUS includes the name Savior (2nd element).
Savior, or the One who Saves. Jesus not only saves us, HE IS OUR SALVATION. “Lord Jesus Christ, come to me and BE my salvation.” Philippians 2:9-11 — Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
JESUS is the name above every name; the name IS the person.
