HaMashiach means “The Messiah” or “The Anointed One” — the one sent by God to bring hope, healing, and eternal life.
Knowing Jesus Messiah: A Daily Invitation
Jesus Messiah — Yeshua HaMashiach — is the Savior promised through all of Scripture. His name, Yeshua, means “Salvation” or “The Lord saves,” and HaMashiach means “The Anointed One,” God’s chosen Redeemer. Every day, we have the opportunity to know Him more fully — through His Word, His life, His sacrifice, and His presence in our hearts.
Through His Word:
The Bible reveals Jesus from beginning to end. In the Old Testament, we see promises of a Savior; in the New Testament, we see their fulfillment. His Word teaches us His character, His mercy, and His love, guiding us in faith and calling us to trust Him completely. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105
Through His Life and Deeds:
Jesus showed God’s love in everything He did — healing the sick, comforting the brokenhearted, and calling sinners to new life. His life is a living reflection of the Father’s heart. “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” — John 1:14
Through His Sacrifice:
On the cross, Jesus bore our sins and brought redemption to all who believe. His resurrection demonstrates His victory over death and offers eternal hope to every heart that trusts in Him. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” — John 3:16
Through His Presence in Our Lives:
Jesus is our strength, our shield, and our peace. He walks with us in trials, comforts us in sorrow, and fills our hearts with joy. He is the Rock on which we stand, the Light that shines in our darkness, and the Lord over all creation. “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:20
To know Jesus is to know salvation, mercy, and unending love. He is the Messiah — the Redeemer of sinners, the Light of the World, and the hope of every heart. JESUS is LORD, and in Him, we find life, strength, and peace that lasts forever.
A Call to Salvation
If you have never personally trusted Jesus as your Savior, today is the perfect moment. Jesus offers forgiveness for your sins, peace for your heart, and eternal life with God. All it takes is to believe in Him, turn from sin, and invite Him to be Lord of your life. You can pray something like this:
“Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I invite You into my life as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for saving me and giving me eternal life.”
If you prayed this prayer sincerely, Jesus promises to be with you forever. Your life is now in His hands, and His love will guide, strengthen, and comfort you every day. JESUS is LORD, and in Him, every heart can find true hope, peace, and salvation.
My hermeneutics are “Literal” I believe God means what He says and says what HE means! I believe that He didn’t give us the “WORD” to confuse us or for us to play a guessing game. If we read what’s written…there’s NO guessing!

Original Hebrew Name: Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ)
- Yeshua means “Yahweh is salvation” or “The Lord saves.”
Transliteration into Greek: Iēsous (Ἰησοῦς)
- When the New Testament was written in Greek, Yeshua was transliterated as Iēsous (pronounced “yay-SOOS”).
- Greek doesn’t have a “sh” sound, and all masculine names often end with “-s.”
Latin and English: Jesus
- From the Greek Iēsous, Latin translators wrote Iesus.
- In early English (before the 17th century), the letter “J” didn’t exist as we know it today—it was pronounced like “Y”.
- Eventually, with the evolution of English, “Iesus” became “Jesus”, pronounced with the soft “J” we use now.
May His grace and power fill your heart with hope and peace as we declare: JESUS is LORD!
