Matt 1:24-25 (TNIV) 24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
What's in a name? If I said the names Coca Cola...or IBM...or Disney... most people would instantly be able to conjure up a feeling...or a logo...or a memory of past experiences with that person or product. A name means a lot.
Jesus' name means a lot as well:
Jesus = Yeshua = Salvation (or as some scholars say) "The Lord Saves"
Jesus Saves.
He came to save you. He came to save your family. He came to save those that you will walk past on the road this morning.
As we pray this morning...pray that God would put one person in front of you that doesn't know Him as Lord and Savior. Just one person that woke up this morning heading the wrong direction.
One person that needs to meet Yeshua...the Redeemer...the Saviour...the Alpha and Omega...
Be ready... share your faith... tell others about the greatest gift this Christmas... eternity with Christ.
