What does the name Jesus mean in the Hebrew?
In the Hebrew, the name Jesus means Yeshua, or the Savior. The angel told Mary she would conceive and bear a son, and she was to call His name Jesus, which signifies Savior. This name points to His role as Savior.
Les teaches that when the angel appeared to Mary, he told her she would conceive and bear a son, and she was to call His name Jesus. In the Hebrew, that name meant Yeshua, or the Savior. Les connects this to the incarnation: Christ was born of the human element, Mary, but from the Father, giving Him the divine attribute of incorruption. His body did not suffer corruption in the tomb, and His blood was not corrupted but divine and sinless, so it could pay the sin debt of humanity. The name Jesus therefore signifies His role as Savior.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
