Question 33: Does this mean that Jesus had more value than the name he received from people?

Answer: Absolutely. Since God wanted Jesus to be called this way, it must be so.

The name of Jehovah is Jesus. The name Jesus does not come from man, but from God. The word Jesus is derived from the Hebrew word Joshua or Yeshua, which means "Yahweh is salvation" or "God's salvation."

The name Joshua means "Jehovah is salvation" or "the Lord saves." His original name was Hosea, but it is said that Moses changed his name to Joshua. The name comes from the Hebrew verb "yasha" (to save), and by adding the divine name "Jehovah," it came to mean "Jehovah is salvation." Therefore, since Joshua also comes from Jehovah, it is incorrect to say that Jesus is descended from Joshua.

During Jesus' time, many people were named Jesus. At the time, the name Jesus was thought to have come from Joshua, meaning "one who is saved."

However, the naming of Jesus is from God, as can be seen in Matthew 1:21, which says, “And she will bring forth a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
