Bible Study Jesus, Joshua, or Yeshua?

[HeIsRisen2018]

My grandkids call me papa. When they heard a friend refer to their grandfather, they ask their mom if they had a grandpa too. "Your papa is your grandfather. You just call him papa." They called me grandfather, grandpa, gramps for about a week or two. Then back to papa. Sometimes pops. I like papa best. But pops is fine too.

His name is Jesus because that's all I ever knew Him as growing up. The other names are interesting but I call Him Jesus.

I guess it doesn't really matter what we call Him, because in the end, it all means exactly the same thing. He is our Lord and Savior above everything else.

I think it does matter. If I'm referring to Jesus as Joshua I'll confuse my listeners. Same with Emmanuel IF they are not familiar with that term. IT's pointless to use words if the listeners don't know what they mean.

True. Good point.
