In the Name

“Give Him the Name Jesus”

Matthew 1:18 – 20

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yetdid not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, andyou are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Pastor Dan Disabatino, our guest speaker this Sunday, will bring insight to the significance of the name, “Jesus,” and what it means to be saved from our sins.
