Our country boasts 18 doctors named Dr. Doctor and another called

Dr. Surgeon. Yes, we have a dermatologist titled Dr. Rash, a

psychiatrist who goes by Dr. Couch, and an anesthesiologist named

Dr. Gass.

But when it came time to name Jesus, the Hebrew name, "Yeshua" has the same sound as the Hebrew word for salvation, "Yeshuah" (with a silent "h"). This was no funny name, but a revelation of what this child would accomplish.
