Introduction |
| |
 |
The word
Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous,
which in turn is the transliteration of the Hebrew
Jeshua, or Joshua, or again Jehoshua, meaning
"Jehovah is salvation."
The word Christ is derived from the word Christos,
the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word Messias,
means "anointed." According to the Old Law, priests
(Exodus 29:29; Leviticus 4:3), kings (1 Samuel 10:1;
24:7), and prophets (Isaiah 61:1) were supposed to be
anointed for their respective offices; now, the Christ, or
the Messias, combined this threefold dignity in His
Person.
The
Genealogy traces the descendants of Jesus in the three
segments: From Abraham to David, From David to the Exile
of the Jews, and finally from the Exile to Jesus. |

Since
many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the
events that have been fulfilled among us, just as
those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and
ministers of the word have handed them down to us, I too
have decided, after investigating everything
accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly
sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that
you may realize the certainty of the teachings you
have received. |

John 1:1-4 |
|
|
In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. He was
in the beginning with God. All
things came to be through him, and without him nothing
came to be. What came to be through
him was life, and this life was the light of the human
race; the
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
overcome it. |
