The Name 14 Dec 2012
What is it about a name that makes it so special to us?
Well, most parents have that choice when a new baby is coming. However, one baby received His name in a far different way. It wasn't His parents' choice that led to His name, and His wasn't a name given to coax Him toward a personality trait. I'm speaking of the One whose name was provided by an angel who told His parents to "call His name JESUS" (Matthew 1:21). Why? "For He will save His people from their sins."
No wonder His is the name above all names (Philipians 2:9). It's a name that reveals His purpose - to provide salvation from the penalty of our sins. Jesus is indeed the name worth mentioning.
21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
The name above all other names, is Jesus Christ the Lord; He came to save us from our sins, so we could be restored.
