Jesus

Before Christ was born, an angel had instructed Joseph, “You shall call His name Jesus (Matthew 1:21).”

Jesus is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Joshua (Num. 13:16), which means Jehovah the Savior, or the salvation of Jehovah. Hence, Jesus is not only a man but Jehovah, and not only Jehovah but Jehovah becoming our salvation. Thus, He is our Savior. He is also our Joshua, the One who brings us into rest (Heb. 4:8; Matt. 11:28-29)…(Lee, Footnotes 13)

All this is summarized and conveyed in the name “Jesus.”
