耶稣姓名的秘密

xipeng

为什么我们的主耶稣叫做Jesus?昨天我得到启发，圣经中有一句“我是阿拉法，我是俄美佳”意思是“我是起始，我是末尾”。如果看创世纪的英文，Genesis，是不是和Jesus 很类似？那么，圣经的最后一本，启示录，在原文中发音会不会和Jesus有类似？请大家代我咨询、祷告，让圣灵赐给我们智慧和答案。 还有，有一件事希望大家代祷：我爱人的姐姐的同事靖文莉（山西大同）因患血小板减少目前正在与病魔作斗争。让我们一起向天父祷告，让靖文莉能早日康复，并且籍着这一机会认识到天父对她的关爱，也因此能有机会成为祂的儿女。

卑微的小人物

本意就是救赎主的意思。

下面是我们的牧师的回复，希望对大家有所帮助。 Dear Xi Peng Thanks for your email. Let me answer each of your questions in turn: 1] Jesus was named Jesus firstly because it was a command from God through the angel to both Mary, in Luke 1: 31, and to Joseph in Matthew 1: 21. Jesus is a form of the name Joshua. The meaning of the name Joshua, or Jesus, is Jehovah is salvation, that is: "Saviour".It was also a common name among Jews at that time. 2] The reference for "I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End" is in Revelation 21: 6. Alpha is the first letter [character] in the Greek alphabet and Omega is the last.It is used there to emphasise that in Jesus everything is completed. this means that there is nothing more left to do to fulfill God's plan. In fact in that verse 21, He says; "It is done." It is simililar to when Jesus says "It is finished" on the cross in John 19: 30. He meant there, that His death had dealt completely with our sin; nothing more needed to be done. 3] 'Genesis'is the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew word 'bereshith'which means "in the beginning". So Genesis [from the Greek "geneseos"] describes the contents of the book. It is a book of "beginnings". The link with Jesus is in His involvement in the Creation; the "beginning", as God the Son [See the New Testament in Colossinas 1: 15-17]. 4] The last book of the Bible is "Revelation". The Greek name is "Apokalupsis", from which we get the English word "Apocalyse". It actually means "Revelation", or an "unveiling of something that was hidden". It has a deep meaning. For it is not only something that is "seen", but also something that comes as an interpretation of what is seen. So, Revelation not only shows us God's plan, like on a 'blueprint'or a diagram, but it also interprets His plan. This is so we can understand what God's plan is. It is God's blueprint for the moment when time and history will finally end and God's eternal kingdom will finally begin. So when Jesus says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End"; he means that just as He was involved when time began, so He will be involved when time ends. Jesus is central to both. It gives us a picture of what happens in our life too.For as Jesus is central to our beginning in our new life as a Christian. so He is central to our end, as we enter heaven only because of faith in Him. 5] Jude is just another form of Judah,or Judas.The writer of the Book of Jude is possibly Jesus' brother Judas, who is mentioned in Matthew 13: 55 and Mark 6: 3. He is NOT Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus. There is no direct link with Revelation, which was written by John the Apostle. He also wrote John's Gospel and the three Letters of John in the New Testament. I think, however, that if you read the final verses 24-25 of Jude, He certainly looks forward to the time when Jesus Christ will be 'revealed'. I hope that these explanations have been helpful. If you want any further information, let me know. I will certainly pray for Ms Wenli Jing and include her on our Prayer list for the Church. Blessings, Pastor Frank.

呵呵，你要好好看看牧师给你的解释喔，以后不要随意发挥联想啦，我觉得不只是盼望大家从牧师的解释里得帮助，更重要的是你自己从中得帮助喔，你不说的话可能没几个人能够想到你联想到的那些呢：）
