The meaning of his name
Jesus is the human name given to Mary by the angel Gabriel. Christ is His title, that signifies or reminds us he was sent from God to be a King and Deliverer. The Hebrew name of Jesus is “Yeshua” which mean “God saves”. “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning “anointed one” or “chosen one.” This is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Mashiach, or “Messiah.” – John 1 v 40
The name of Jesus is important because of its meaning and because of whom it represents.
The birth of Jesus Christ in this world was to fulfill a divine purpose and his name bears witness to that mission. ……………for he will save his people from their sins.”
His purpose was to save people from the shackles of empty life we inherited from our ancestors (1 Peter 1 v 18)
Rom 3 v 23 – For all has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
1 John 1 v 10 - 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
Rom 5 v 19 – Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.
The Will of God -
Jesus Christ - He came to fulfill the will of God.
John 6 v 39-40 - 38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. 39 And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. 40 For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”
2 Peter 3 v 9 - The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
