His Name is Jesus

"And 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

The name Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew word 'yeshus', which means salvation.

In the Old Testament, yeshus is used to refer to deliverance, aid, victory, prosperity, help, welfare, healing and health.

How it is used in any particular instance depends upon what is needed.
Where there is sin, salvation is forgiveness.
Where there is lack or want, salvation is prosperity.
Where there is sickness, salvation is healing.

Salvation is wonderful - it takes care of all our needs.

That is why the name of Jesus is so precious, it literally means salvation.

The son Mary brought forth at Bethlehem was called Jesus, "for He will save His people from their sins."

The Greek word for 'save' is 'sozo', and like the Old Testament word for salvation, it means to save, heal, deliver, make whole.

Jesus saves us from our sins, from the bondage of our sins, from the penalty of our sins.

"Surely He has borne our griefs [literally sicknesses] and carried our sorrows [literally pains]; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:4,5
