Why did God decide to call his son Jesus Is there special meaning to the name?
Tcrews92
"Jesus" (Greek "Iesous") means "Jehovah is salvation."
Some try to construe a conflict between Matthew 1:21 -"And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." and Matthew 1:23 - "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." Essentially there is no difference in meaning between the Hebrew name "Immanuel" and the Greek name "Jesus."
Answer:
The name Jesus is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew "Joshua." So, the name is also prophetically significant, in that it was Joshua (Jesus) who led the Israelites into the Promised Land following their liberation from Egyptian bondage. Egypt, symbolizing "sin" and man's bondage to it.

What makes Jesus special?
Jesus Christ is special because He is God. He came to earth approximately 2000 years ago to reconcile humanity to God the Father. Jesus went to the cross and died and be resurrected and if any human confesses Him as God and believes that He is God they are granted eternal life in heaven. If you don' believe that Jesus is God and die you go to hell and the Lake of Fire. If you believe in Jesus you KNOW He is special. There is no other way to heaven but by believing in Jesus Christ. Would you not call that special?

Do Muslims believe in Jesus Christ as God?
No. Muslims reject the idea of Christ, which is the Greek version of the Hebrew Messiah (or meshiach) meaning "God's anointed." Muslims accept the existence of Jesus, whom they call Isa, and do believe that He was born of a virgin as a mark of God's special favor, but not that this makes Him in any way divine or better than Muhammed. In reference to Jesus, Muslims emphasize the virgin - but not divine - birth account by saying "Isa, son of Mary."
