A good name is to

be more desired than great

wealth. (Proverbs 22:1)

The way someone lives can change

your whole outlook on

a name.

What would God name His son?

What would men call Him…

and why?

“She will bear a Son; and you shall

call His name Jesus,

for He will save His people from their sins.” (Mathew 1:21)

Jesus is the Greek form of the Old

Testament Jewish name, YESHUA.

In English most of us know it better in it’s Old Testament Biblical

form as JOSHUA.

In its Old TestamentHebrew form –

“Yahweh is salvation”or “Yahweh rescues”.

The Name:

The impact of Matthew 1:21 is

that the angels’ words attribute to Jesus

what was previously

reserved for God.

Yahweh come among us

Immanuel

JESUS SAVES!

“Salvation is found in no one else;

for there is no other name under heaven

given to men by which we must

be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Jesus is not merely aspokesman for Godor a prophet telling

about God.

He is GOD!

3And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic,

carried by four men. 4Being unable to get to

Him because of the crowd, they removed the

roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down

the pallet on which the paralytic was lying.

Mark 2:3-12

5And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic,

“Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in

their hearts, 7“Why does this man speak that way?

He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins

but God alone?”

8Immediately Jesus, aware

in His spirit that they were

reasoning that way within themselves, said to them,

“Why are you reasoning about these things in

your hearts? 9Which is easier, to say to

the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven’; or to say,

‘Get up, and pick up your

pallet and walk?’ 10“But so that you may know

that the Son of Man has authority on earth to

forgive sins”--He said to the paralytic,

11“I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and

go home.”

12And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out

in the sight of everyone, so

that they were all amazed

and were glorifying God,

saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”

“Son, your sins are

forgiven.”

Jesus was either God on earth or

guilty of blasphemy.

One of two conclusions was true:

Saying “your sins are forgiven” was

easier than “get up, take up your mat

and walk,” because the latter was

testable in a way the former was not.

The Credibility Factor:

He proved He was

deity among us who could save

people from their sin.

Only in His name and by the salvation

found in Him can we be declared

right with God.
