Romans Corps Teachings
ROMANS 1:1 “JESUS CHRIST” October 5, 1978 Tonight I want to handle the words “Jesus Christ” in the first verse. The word “Jesus” is in the Old Testament the word “Joshua.” The Book of Joshua is Old Testament. The Hebrew word is Jehoshua. The Aramaic word is Yeshua. (The “e” is like an “a.”) In the Septuagint (LXX means Septuagint in so-called Christian literature) and in the New Testament Greek it is the word Jesous. The Hebrew and Aramaic is a compound word. Johoshua is a compound word made up of Yah, which is a word used for God, but specifically Jehovah. The Je on Jehoshua represents and equals the name Jehovah. The other part of the word is Hoshea. The word Hoshea means saved or salvation. It is Biblically accurate. Only Jehovah saves, not Elohim saves. Matthew 1:21 Jesus - Jehoshua, meaning Jehovah saves. That’s the meaning of the word “Jesus.” If the word Elohim was used here, we’d have some Biblical difficulties. Elohim is used of God as the Creator. Jehovah is used of God in relationship to that which He has created. If you just remember those two statements, it will be sort of interesting to you and enlightening as you continue working the Word. Whenever it’s God in His creative abilities, it will always be Elohim. But whenever it talks about God dealing with His people on a horizontal level, it’s Jehovah. Jehovah means God saves. Jesus Christ, in Matthew we read, “he shall save his people.” God dealing with His people, dealing with that which He has created as Elohim. I absolutely sit in utter amazement at the greatness of the integrity and accuracy of the Word. Isaiah 53:3-4 Prophetic regarding the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The reason I bring this up is I want to teach you as best I understand and know the usage of the word Jesus and the great facts and truths regarding it. I’ve shown you that it is Jehoshua like God saves. This God who saves has to be Jehovah on this level. Jesus is God’s salvation. Sorrows – pains Grief – sickness Jesus Christ wa

the justification, substitution. They are all for us by Jesus Christ’s obedience and believing unto his death. He died for us. But there is something more, something fuller, something deeper. There is a truth which is seldom seen and hardly ever believed, but it is truth, it is the core, it is the heart of our completeness in Christ. Colossians 2:10 Why is it so heavy on the word “one”? I’ll tell you why. Because it’s of such fantastic importance. Because in one, Adam, we got death. In one, Christ Jesus, we got life and that life is much more than the death in Adam. Wait until I show you that sometime when we get into this. It’s something. Hardly anyone believes it, because they don’t believe God’s Word. If you’re complete you’re complete. Complete in him. The reason that “one” is so heavy and that answer begins to unfold in Chapter 6 is because it is our oneness with him. I like to call
