THE NAME OF JESUS
TEXT: “But she will bear a Son, and you shall call His name, Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
Truth be told --- your name was probably given to you by your parents. And if truth be told a second time, you probably don’t like your name and wished you had a different name.
Do you know who named Jesus? An angel from the Lord appeared to Mary and told her to give him that name. That name is used millions of times every day and yet, I believe very few could stop and tell you what that name means!
Jesus means “salvation is of Jehovah” or “Jehovah is my salvation.” The Old Testament equivalent to that name is Joshua. The name “Jesus” means that our salvation must be exclusively accredited to the Lord God.
Our salvation was planned by Him.
It was designed by Him.
It was all of Him and that highlights the wonderful grace of God. Who would have ever even conceived of such a plan? Who had the wisdom to think of such? God gave us a Son, who died on a cross --- as a Substitute, a Sacrifice for unworthy, wicked sinners such as ourselves in order to redeem us. That is what Christmas is all about. The glorious and wonderful name of Jesus!
Alway remember that Jesus = Jehovah is my salvation. And your salvation is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself!
