JEHOVAH IS SALVATION


PhotoPhotoPhoto



(IESOUS) JESUS 
Is a transliteration of the Hebrew "Joshua" meaning,.....
 'Jehovah is Salvation' e.g., "is the Savior".
A common name among the Jews.,    e.g, (Ex 17:9) (Luke 3:29) (Col 4:11)
The Name was given to the Son of God in *Incarnation* (Begotten of God the Holy Spirit and Mary a chosen virgin) as His personal name, in obedience to the command of an angel to Joseph, the husband of His mother, Mary, shortly before He was born, (Matt 1:21).
By it He is spoken of throughout the gospel narratives generally,
but not without exception, as in (Mark 16:19,20) (Luke 7:13),
and a dozen other places in that Gospel, and a few in John.
The Gospel According to Matthew, The book of the ancestry (genealogy) of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed, the Son (descendant) of Abraham. (Psalm. 132:11) (Isa 11:1)

"'Jesus Christ' occurs only in (Matt 1:1,18,16:21 marg)(Mark 1:1)
(John 1:17; 17:3).  In Acts the name 'Jesus' is found frequently.
'Lord Jesus' is the normal usage, as in (Acts 8:16; 19:5,17 ); see also the reports of the word of (Stephen, 7:59) of  (Ananias, 9:17), and of (Paul, 16:31) though both (Peter, 10:36), and (Paul,16:18), also
used "Jesus Christ."
"In Paul's letters the order is always in harmony with the context.  
Thus 'Christ Jesus' describes the Exalted One who emptied Himself,
despised and rejected One Who was afterwards Glorified, 
(Phil 2:11) and testifies to His resurrection.
'Jesus Christ' suggests His grace, 'Jesus Christ' suggests His Glory."



*Incarnation* is from the Latin meaning "becoming flesh", that is,"becoming human." The eternal Son of God (see trinity) became human, and He did so without in any manner or degree diminishing His divine nature.(Phil.2:5-11) Christ Jesus, remaining in the "form" of God, e,g,.with all the essential attributes of God, took the "form"
of a servant and died on the Cross.
The virgin birth is necessary  for our understanding of the incarnation.  In the process of ordinary birth, a new personality begins.  Jesus Christ did not begin to be when He was born. He is the eternal Son.  The virgin birth was a miracle wrought by the Holy Spirit, whereby the eternal Son of God "became flesh,"e,g,took to himself a genuine human nature in addition to His eternal divine nature.  It was a virgin birth, a miracle.  The Holy Spirit has never been thought of as the father of Jesus.  Jesus was not half man and half God like the Greek mythological heroes. He was fully God, the Second Person of the Trinity. "In Christ 'ALL' the fullness of the
Deity lives in bodily form" (Col 2:9).  At the same time He became
genuinely a man.  To deny His genuine humanity is "the spirit of the antichrist" (1 John 4:2-3).
