The doctrine of the sacred name, as expounded by Yahushua, is demonstrated by the format for prayer given to his disciples. The opening line reads:

Our father who is in heaven, sacred be your name. (Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2)

Yahushua not only knew the sacred name, but he also came to the Jewish people in that name. He told the Jews who sought his life:

I have come in the name of my father, and you receive me not; if another should come in his own name, him you will receive. (John 5:43)

Yahushua came in the name of father Yahweh, not his earthly name Yahushua (or the Greek substitute Ἰησους; English “Jesus”), and few received him.

This discussion aims to provide a clearer understanding of the Passover supper and the practice of eating unleavened bread for seven days, while also summarizing the experience of the Exodus. This event marked the first time the Israelites were commanded to sacrifice and eat a Passover animal.

This question is one of the most profound statements in Scriptures, spoken by an unlikely figure.

The New Testament refers to him as Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea under Emperor Tiberius from 26 to 36 C.E.

Although Pilate had never heard Yahushua speak before, it was Yahushua who had said:

“I am the way, and THE TRUTH, and the life; no one comes to the father, but by me.” (John 14:6)

Pontius Pilate directly encountered the man who was “the Truth.”

Without realizing it, Pilate unwittingly revealed the truth when he responded to the question he had posed to Yahushua: “What is truth?”

He ensured that his answer was prominently displayed at the execution site for everyone to see.

Ironically, with this display, Pilate confronted the Jewish religious leaders with the reality of who they had unjustly convicted of blasphemy according to their law and wrongfully condemned to death.

He made this clear when he wrote:

“Yahushua of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.”
