"They have directed us, to the Iota, the name of salvation, of Jesus Christ."

What is the significance of the Iota?

    The name of Jesus always begins with the 10th letter of any alphabet. Hence here in Greek/Coptic it is referred to as the Iota.

    Cap, يسوع starts with ي ehich is the last letter of the alphabet

    I read somewhere (I do not remember from where, forgive me) of an analogy:

    "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." - Matthew 5:18
    The "jot" is the Iota -  the tenth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, the smallest letter.

    Therefore, Christ, who seemed small and weak, was actually an important (THE most important).
