“And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
An angel told Joseph to name the baby Jesus, which means “God is Salvation.” This name was not given just because it sounded nice but because it defined who Jesus was and what He would do in the world. A saviour is someone who gets another person out of trouble—a rescuer, deliverer or protector.
