JESUS / MATTHEW 1:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 1:21

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,^[a] because he will save his people from their sins.”

The name “Jesus” is the Greek form of the Hebrew word “Yeshua”(Jshua), meaning “the LORD saves” (Joshua 1:1). This describes the future mission of Mary’s son and is the early promise of the gospel – the “good new” of spiritual salvation through Jesus. As the Savior Jesus “will save His people form their sins” – their spiritual rebellion and offenses against God. Sin is the greatest enemy of the human race because it separates humankind from God and is present to destroy every eternal soul and every life. However, Jesus broke the power of sin by sacrificing His own sinless life to pay the full penalty for our offenses against God. Those who accept God’s forgiveness and yield their lives to Jesus are spiritually transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit (the same Spirit by which Jesus was conceived and born into the human race). Such people are spiritually “saved” – rescued and set free from the guilt and slavery of sin (John 8:31-36; Acts 26:17-18; Romans 6; 8:1-6).
