“Yᵊsha-yah” above has the same Hebrew root letters as Yeshua, which means “Salvation” or “God Saves”.
This same word is translated as “Jesus” in the Greek New Testament. The Greek translation loses the essence of the name of the Hebrew Messiah.
Yeshua means Salvation.
Imagine shouting out the Name: “YESHUA” instead of Jesus.
The name “Jesus” is the Greek translation of Yeshua. This inaccurate translation causes us to miss out on recognizing God’s holy purpose in our lives every time we speak His holy name.
If we say “Yeshua” instead of “Jesus”,
then every time we say His holy name,
“Yeshua”,
we will be crying out:
“SALVATION ! SAVE ME ! “
With each utterance of His powerful name, you will be invoking God’s saving grace into the situation.
Try making it a habit to say Yeshua instead of Jesus daily.
You will be reminding yourself
of God’s saving promise
in your life everyday.
The best part is, it does not matter if you cry out Yeshua or Jesus.
When you are obedient to His Will,
He will rescue you every time.
