HE WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS
Keywords 1:21
She will give birth to a son, and you
are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their
sins."
1. God’s
plan for Joseph (18-20, 24-25)
Jesus was conceived in Mary by
the Holy Spirit; thus, he is the Son of God. When Joseph, Mary’s fiancé, first heard that she was
pregnant, he could not understand this. But he showed good character by
planning to break off the marriage quietly, preserving Mary’s honor. Then God sent an angel
to tell Joseph that Mary’s baby was from the Holy Spirit
and that he should still take Mary as his wife. God had a good plan to use
Joseph to build Jesus’ family environment. Joseph
obeyed God’s direction. God’s plan for us may not bring us
glory in this world, but it always makes us a blessing.
2.
Jesus is salvation (21-23)
The angel also revealed to Joseph
the greatness of the child Mary would bear. The name “Jesus” means “the Lord saves.” Jesus would save people from
their sins, solving the true problem of humanity. Jesus’ coming is the fulfillment of the
prophecy of Immanuel, “God with us”; in Jesus, God came to live
among us to bless us eternally.
Prayer Father,
Heavenly Father, thank you for sending Jesus to save us from our sins. Thank
you for the role you gave me to support Jesus’ salvation work.
