As
we learned in an earlier blog – How
“Yeshua” became “Jesus” – during the life of Yeshua, and for over
another thousand years afterwards, the name “Jesus” was unknown. It didn’t
exist. This isn’t a recent discovery. It has been known in scholarly circles
for centuries. However, when it comes to local pulpits, there are numerous examples
of sermons and theological disputes over the importance of the English word “Jesus.”
Some say there is no salvation without the “name of Jesus.” Others preach that
healing only comes through the name “Jesus.” They use the word “Jesus” like it
has some “magical properties” connected to it. But, as pointed out above, no member
of the Yeshua Movement or anyone else for over the first thousand years of
Christianity would have known who you were referring to if anyone had asked if
they knew “Jesus.” The same thing would
have been true in Galilee, Samaria and Judah if anyone had asked about “Christ.”
