Presence: Jesus Comes as God to Save us from Our Sins
What’s in a name? In the book of Matthew the story of Jesus’ birth is sort of glossed over but the naming of Jesus is given a lot of attention. What is the significance of the naming of Jesus, the statements about his name and the actions of Joseph in the naming of Jesus? Jesus comes to earth with a very specific purpose, to save us from our sins. From His very birth it is made clear that this child born in Bethlehem was born in order to one day die for you and me. Jesus came to save us, how will we respond to being saved?
