Well, Juliet may have not known, when she was talking to her love Romeo. In case of Jesus Christ, we can know. The Hebrew spelling of His name is Yeshua.
The meaning of the name is awesome. It’s Hebrew root y-sh-a means to deliver, to save, and to be victorious. Jesus is our deliverer, our savior, and He sure was victorious at the cross.
I am feeling a bit like being in one these bad TV commercials, because: „Wait! There is more!“
Have you, like me, ever asked yourself what this word Hosanna means, which we sing so often? It is the Greek spelling of Yeshua-na. The suffix „na“ is a fervent but kind demand: „Please! Do!“ (THIS GOD WE SERVE by Rev. W.J. Morford) When we sing „Hosanna“, we are saying „Please! Do! Deliver us! Save us!“
In case you already knew this, I apologize for being so excited about it… NOT! I am still excited!
