NEAR-DEATH MIRACLE

Reflection

This clip shares the remarkable account of a toddler who reportedly drowned, was revived, and then repeatedly said "Yeshua" for weeks afterwards. Yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ) is the original Hebrew/Aramaic name of Jesus. It comes from the Hebrew root יָשַׁע (yasha'), which means "to save," "to rescue," or "to deliver." So the name Yeshua literally means: "The Lord saves" "Yahweh is salvation" "God saves" Whether you approach this story as a miracle, a mystery, or simply something that makes you pause, the detail that a small child kept speaking the name of Jesus is hard to dismiss lightly.
