Why I Use the Name Yeshua HaMashiach I have chosen to use the name Yeshua HaMashiach not because "Jesus Christ" is wrong, but because the original Hebrew name and title carry a weight and meaning that the English translation has largely lost. Yeshua means "Yahuah saves." It is the name given to the Son of God when He took human flesh—the name His mother Miriam called Him, the name His disciples spoke, the name by which He was known in Nazareth and Capernaum and Jerusalem. When I say Yeshua, I am not using a foreign word to be different. I am using His actual name, the name that declares His mission: Yahuah saves. HaMashiach means "the Anointed One." It is not a surname. It is a title—the title of the One promised by the prophets, the seed of the woman, the son of David, the suffering Servant of Isaiah, the coming King of Daniel's vision. When I say HaMashiach, I am confessing that Yeshua of Nazareth is the Messiah of Israel and the hope of the world. In modern English, "Jesus Christ" has become a compound name. Many treat "Christ" as though it were His last name, not understanding that it means "the Anointed One." The meaning has been buried under centuries of translation and familiarity. I want to restore what has been lost. I want to speak His name and His title with the weight they deserve. This is not about being rigid or rejecting those who say "Jesus Christ." It is about honoring the One who saved me. It is about recovering the Jewish roots of my faith. It is about confessing, every time I speak His name, that Yahuah saves and that Yeshua is the promised Messiah. I stand on the Bible and the Bible alone. I worship one God, the Father, Yahuah. I confess one Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, His only begotten Son. And I use the names that best declare who they are. #YeshuaHaMashiach #Yeshua #HaMashiach #Yahuah #Christ #Jesus #Mary #Saviour #Michael #NameofGod #Lord
