PRAYER

Jesus, my Savior, I offer You my utmost praise, recognizing that salvation can be found in no one else but in Your mighty name.

I am deeply grateful for Your redemptive plan, which encompasses Your sacrificial love, mercy, patience, and grace. Through it, You have set me free from sins and eternal punishment.

Forgive me when I fail to appreciate the magnitude of Your salvation. Although it is freely given, it came at an immeasurable cost. You, Jesus, paid a price that no one else could bear.

Holy Spirit, please remind me continually of the incredible privilege it is to be saved by Your grace. Open my eyes to the desperate need for Your salvation in the world, and ignite my heart with a desire to take action and share Your love with those who are lost.

Because You are my Salvation, I declare I am saved by grace through faith. I am unconditionally loved. I am forgiven. I am truly free.

A FEW FACTS…

• According to widespread belief, Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) is the Hebrew name for Jesus, meaning salvation. It is a shortened form of Yehoshua (יְהוֹשׁוּעַ), which is commonly translated as Joshua. Yehoshua is composed of Yahweh (יהוה) and the verb Yasha (יָשַׁע), meaning "Yahweh saves" or "Yahweh is salvation."
• The pronunciation of Yeshua is not very similar to Jesus because it has undergone multiple stages of transliteration evolution, with the specific process as follows:
  • [Hebrew/Aramaic] Ye-sh-ua (Yay-shoo-ah)
  • -> [Greek] Iesous (ee-ay-sous)
  • -> [Latin] Ie-s-us (ee-ay-sous)
  • -> [English] Je-s-us (gee-sus)
• In biblical Hebrew, a name held more significance than merely being a unique identifier. It reflected the individual's calling, purpose, or destiny.

SMILE & BREATHE

In a quiet place, sit upright, relax your shoulders, neck, and jaw.

Smile, for from the beginning, He chose you to be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Take a deep breath, contemplating how the Father sent a baby to rescue all who were trapped in sin.

Hold your breath for a few seconds, sincerely thanking Jesus, your Saviour.

Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing any feelings of helplessness or despair from your heart.
