Yes, the Bible records that Jesus was called the friend of sinners by the Pharisees because He ate with tax collectors and sinners (Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34). Jesus embraced this title, declaring that He came not for the righteous but for sinners who need a physician, revealing the heart of the Gospel — that Christ […]
Yeshua Ben Yosef is the Hebrew name for Jesus, the Son of Joseph—the historical Jesus of Nazareth who is revealed in the Bible as the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16). The name ‘Yeshua’ means ‘salvation’ or ‘Yahweh saves,’ and ‘Ben Yosef’ means ‘son of Joseph,’ identifying Him by His earthly father […]
“Christ in us” is the biblical truth that through faith in Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the living Christ resides within every believer. As Paul declared in Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” This reality is the very hope […]
The name for Jesus in Latin is ‘Iesus’. This is a direct Latinization of the Greek name ‘Ἰησοῦς’ (Iēsoûs), which itself is a transliteration of the original Hebrew name ‘Yeshua’ (ישוע). The name carries the profound meaning ‘Yahweh is salvation,’ directly reflecting His divine mission to save humanity from sin as foretold in scripture (Matthew […]

IHS is a Christogram, a symbol that represents Jesus Christ. It originates from the first three letters of Jesus’ name in Greek: Iota (I), Eta (H), and Sigma (S). It is also widely interpreted in Latin as ‘Iesus Hominum Salvator,’ which translates to ‘Jesus, Savior of Mankind,’ affirming His central role in the Christian faith. […]
The Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus, in his work ‘The Annals’ (c. 116 AD), confirmed key details about Jesus Christ. He wrote that ‘Christus’, the founder of the Christian movement, was executed by the procurator Pontius Pilate during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. This non-Christian source provides powerful external corroboration for the historical facts of Jesus’s […]
The Bible does not record Jesus Christ having a wife. Scripture presents His life as being singularly focused on His divine mission to redeem humanity. While claims, particularly about Mary Magdalene, have arisen from non-biblical texts, the four canonical Gospels portray her as a devout follower, not a spouse. The only ‘bride’ mentioned in a […]
Jesus is called ‘the Word’ (Greek: Logos) because He is the complete and living revelation of God to humanity. As powerfully stated in John 1:1 and John 1:14, He existed with God from the beginning, is God, and became flesh to perfectly communicate God’s nature, will, and plan of salvation. One of the most profound […]
