What’s in a Name?

by Alistair Begg

Matthew 1:18–25
 (ID: 3579)

Parents generally put considerable thought into choosing their children’s names. Not so with Mary and Joseph’s firstborn! Instead, an angelic messenger declared they would have a son and name Him Jesus, “for he will save his people from their sins.” In a special Christmas message, Alistair Begg explains how Christ’s birth fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy of the long-awaited Immanuel, “God with us.” Jesus promises to save all who come to Him in repentance and faith. Have you trusted Him as your Savior?
