![We were gifted a Savior which is Christ the Lord, our sin-bearer who died a death so that we may live and have eternal life. Humanity needed a Savior of their sins and his name was Jesus. Jesus name means, “Yahweh saves.” In the Old Testament, Joshua saves his people from the Canaanites, he foreshadows the real Jeshua/Jesus who saves the world from their sins.
[save & share for encouragement]
In the Christmas story, we are familiar with this passage, “Give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21) As we continue to reflect on the names of Jesus, let us grasp the fullness of what he came to do. He came in humility a small babe, a common man with a common name, and yet the significance/meaning of the name could only be fulfilled through him. Only he has the power to save. Many were named Jeshua, but there is only ONE who lives up to the meaning of this name: Savior.
Luke 2:11 says, “for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Christ the Lord, an anointed prophet, king, and priest came as a baby to save us from our sins.
Jesus name was common, he lived a common life, yet despite other people having this name, salvation is exclusive to him and he is anything but common, “Yahweh saves.” #chasingsacred](https://www.chasingsacred.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
