Who Is This Lamb . . . This Jesus?

Above his head they placed the written charge against him: this is jesus, the king of the jews. (Matthew 27:37)

Passover begins tomorrow, April 3. For those of us who aren't familiar with Jewish traditions, Passover is an eight-day festival which is celebrated from the 15th to the 22nd of the Hebrew month called Nissan. The dates on the American calendar change every year. This year Passover is Friday, April 3 (Shabbat, or Sabbath) in the evening through Saturday, April 11 after sundown.


Some intersting facts about the crucifixion . . .

Governor Pilate also wrote an inscription, and put it on the cross. It was written, ‘JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.’

The letters were the first letters of each of the nouns in the inscription in Latin. The inscription in the Latin Vulgate reads:: “Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum” (INRI).

Since the inscription had been in three languages — Latin, Greek, and Hebrew — is transliterated from Hebrew to English to these words: “Y’Shua HaNatzri V’Melech HaYehudim.” Take the first letters of each of these words. It spellsd “YHVH,” the Tetragrammaton form of the name of God! YHVH and YHWH can be used interchangeably. When this technique of abbreviating is used, the title on the cross in the actual Hebraic script undeniably reveals the name of God. In English, the name is pronounced “Yahweh!”

Just like the Jews put their family name on their lamb for sacrifice at the Temple, God put His name on His Lamb for His family, which includes you and me!

Who is this Jesus? Is He YOUR Lord and King . . .YOUR Savior?
