Following Your Joshua

 

Do you know where the name Jesus came from? Moses, by the power of the Spirit, changed the name of his apprentice to Yehoshua. Yehoshua became Yeshua. In English it became Joshua, and in Greek, Iesus. In Greek/English, Jesus. So who was Joshua? He was the one appointed to take the children of Israel across the Jordan into the promised land. Then the Messiah was born. The angel told his parents to name Him Yeshua, Jesus because He will save His people from their sins. Yeshua means salvation. He's the one who will lead His people into the promised land. If Jesus is your Lord, He's your Joshua, your Yeshua. He is your Salvation. He will lead you. You will be following Him where you've never been before, crossing from an old life into a new life. He takes you into the land of promises, the promised land. That's His ministry. He knows how to get you there. Follow Him. Leave the old behind and move forward with Him into the newness of His promises. Move forward because He is your Joshua, and He's only going to take you into the promised-land.
