Jesus

The name "Jesus" derives from the Hebrew name Yeshua (ישוע), which means "Yahweh is salvation." This significance is underscored in Matthew 1:21, where the angel instructs Joseph to name the child Jesus because "he will save his people from their sins." In Christian theology, Jesus is understood as the incarnate Son of God, the second person of the Holy Trinity, who came to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament and to establish a new covenant between God and humanity. His life, death, and resurrection are pivotal events that offer salvation and reconciliation to believers.In addition to being a savior, Jesus is also seen as a teacher and a model for ethical and moral living. His teachings, encapsulated in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), emphasize love, mercy, and forgiveness. Jesus' role as the Messiah is central to Christian belief, as he fulfills the Old Testament prophecies concerning the anointed one who would deliver Israel and bring about God's kingdom (Isaiah 9:6-7; Micah 5:2). Thus, Jesus represents both the means of salvation and the embodiment of God’s love and righteousness in the world.
