Right so it is to a man that is sick spiritually, and feeleth the pain thereof; nothing is so dear, nor so needful, nor so much coveted by him, as is ghostly health, and that is Jesus, without whom all the joys of Heaven cannot please him. And this is the reason (as I take it) why our Lord when He took man’s nature upon Him for our salvation, would not be called by a name betokening His infinite essence, or His wisdom, or His justice, but only by that which betokened the cause of His coming, namely, the salvation of man’s soul, which salvation this name Jesus betokened. Hereby, then, it appeareth that none can be saved unless he love salvation, to have it through the mercy of our Lord Jesus only, by the merits of His passion; which love he may have that liveth and dieth in the very lowest degree of charity. (John Climacus)

In the ancient world one's name was thought to reflect one's identity.

Jesus is another form of Joshua or Hosea or Yeshua, males names which are derived from the Hebrew ישה (yasha')

Yasha' is to be saved, delivered, liberated, helped, or victorious. In Isaiah 30:15 we read, "For thus the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said, 'In repentance and rest you will be saved (yasha'), In quietness and trust is your strength'."

We are to seek out and to love the identity of Jesus - repentance and rest, quietness and trust - that personifies yasha'.

In this way we will experience salvation and victory.
