Today's reading: Luke 2:1-20

She will bring forth a Son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
Matthew 1:21

Matthew's gospel proves first of all that Jesus was truly a human being. But in His Person, much more than just a human being came to us, namely God Himself.
Joseph was informed by an angel that the child Mary was expecting had been conceived by the Holy Ghost and that He should be given the name Jesus(i.e. The Lord is salvation). This Name indicates that He would save His people from their sins.
God alone can determine a name with an eye to the future.And this great Name of Jesus was confirmed in a wonderful way. What a harvest of saved persons it has reaped! All have been saved from their sins and from the judgment that they deserved because of them. The prophecy of Isaiah which speaks of the greatness and power of the Saviour, was fulfilled. The name foretold in that prophecy, Emmanuel, i.e. God with us, expressed that He would be "God manifested in the flesh"(1 Timothy 3,16): God in our midst and indeed in a much nobler way than had ever been announced previously.
The two names, Jesus and Emmanuel, are closely connected. God cannot dwell with those who are not saved from their sins. His very presence would consume them in judgment. But God wanted not only to save people from their sins but also to be near them and have fellowship with them, so as to make them partakers of His grace and glory. Through Christ's first advent, His intention was perfectly realised.

DELIVERANCE: DIVINE ASSURANCE

When God speaks, that settles it. He reigns forever. When He gives a decree, it is forever. When He says "surely", it means surely. When He says surely, it will be well with me, nobody can change it. He says surely, by His stripes I am healed, and nobody can change this. He says surely, everything I do shall...More
