Today is the Feast of the Circumcision – or Naming – of Christ. The name given in the Gospels as Jesus is a transliteration of Joshua. Jesus comes from the Latin Iesus (pronounced as three syllables) or the Greek, Iesous – and both are transliterations of the Hebrew name Yeshua or Yoshua, or the older name of Yehoshu’a – from which we derived the name Joshua as used in the Old Testament. The Hebrew name means ‘Yahweh saves’.
Our salvation does indeed come from, and start with, God.
