She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 ESVThe name Jesus literally means YHWH (or Jehovah) saves. Not YHWH made it possible for you to save yourself... But YHWH Himself, God Almighty saves. He is the LORD (YHWH), and He will not share His glory. Meditate on the implications of this; the fact that God Almighty saves, that He is able, and that He is willing. What does that mean for us? Let the realization of His majesty, His power, and His love lead you to worship Him today.
Matthew later goes on to resound the word of Isaiah the prophet, which the angel echoes to Joseph.
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
Immanuel meaning God with us. God entering into man's perception of time and existence as a tiny baby. Glory clothed in flesh...
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily (Colossians 2:9)
