Jesus Christ
Jesus is the name that Jehovah, the God of the Old Testament, took upon himself during His mortal ministry upon the earth. "Christ is a sacred title, and not an ordinary appellation or common name; it is of Greek derivation, and in meaning is identical with its Hebrew equivalent Messiah or Messias, signifying the Anointed One."
Joseph, who married Mary the mother of Jesus was instructed by angelic ministration on what to name Jehovah when He was to be born into mortality through Mary. "And thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21).
The apostle James E. Talmage writes, "Jesus is the individual name of the Savior, and as thus spelled is of Greek derivation; its Hebrew equivalent was Yehoshua or Yeshua, or, as we render it in English, Joshua. In the original the name was well understood as meaning "Help of Jehovah," or "Savior." The name was nevertheless divinely prescribed" (JTC, Talmage, pg.35).
