247. The Meaning of the Name "Jesus."<\/p>\n
The name "Jesus" is the name by which the Saviour is preferably known in the Gospels. "Christ" is used as a proper name in the Epistles, but in the Gospels, except in rare instances, such as Mat_1:1; Mar_1:1; Luk_2:2 ; John i there is found not the familiar "Christ" but "The Christ." The later combination of the two names, "Jesus Christ," is found only in John (Joh_17:3) and after the resurrection (Act_2:38). "Jesus" is the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Jehoshua " or in its abbreviated form "Joshua." Its variants are found in "Jeshua" and "Hoshea." "Jesus" means Deliverer and the divine selection of the name is indicated in Mat_1:21'97"He shall save his people from their sins."<\/p>\n
