Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3091 - יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua): The Hebrew origin of the name Jesus, meaning "Yahweh is salvation." Usage: The name Iésous is used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianity, believed to be the Son of God and the Savior of humanity. The name signifies "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves," reflecting Jesus' role in the divine plan of redemption. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, the name Jesus (Iésous) was relatively common, being the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua. However, Jesus of Nazareth, as depicted in the New Testament, is unique in His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah. His life, death, and resurrection are foundational to Christian belief, marking the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. Jesus' teachings, miracles, and sacrificial death are central to the Christian faith, emphasizing themes of love, forgiveness, and eternal life.
