What’s in a name? Some of us wonder what our parents were thinking when they named us. Others live up to their name and do the exploits of a Biblical Paul or a Deborah. In Macedonia, most people get a shortened form as an expression of endearment and friendship. Sometimes our names do not translate or transliterate well into another language (like mine, for example – something you put on a pizza... π ) However, there is one name that is like no other! The Bible says: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved . Acts 4:12 What a name! The name Yeshua in Hebrew comes from the root verb ‘to save, deliver’. It is a shortened form of Yehoshua , meaning YHWH (Jehovah) saves . We can only be saved through the name of Jesus the Lord. We come to God the Father through Him! I trust it will never be found in your mouth as a swear word. Do not abuse the most powerful name on ear
