Most of us when a family member or a friend is expecting a baby we ask the question "Have you thought of a name?" And most of the time the parents have a name chosen for a boy or a girl. There is one baby that received His name in a very different way. An angel gave His name to the parents.
Matthew 1:18-25 tells us the beautiful story of the birth of Jesus. In verses 20,21 "the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins."
What a beautiful name. The name of JESUS. The name above all names — the name that has a purpose.
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:9-11
Jesus came into the world to give salvation, and He will save you if you believe in Him.
Love in Christ,
Tera
