Praise JESUS
“She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”
This year, we have looked at different names and traits of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit every day – for 365 days. It has been a sweet journey with you.
Today, as we countdown to Christmas, we come to JESUS; to the name God appointed for His Son.
Jesus. It means “Jehovah is salvation.” It means Jesus is the Savior of mankind.*
In the angel’s message to Joseph to name the Christ baby, “Jesus,” we hear the Christmas message – the hope on which we anchor our souls. He, Jesus, will save us from our sins. He, Jesus, will save our children from their sins. He, Jesus, will save whoever looks on and cries out for forgiveness.
We’re there, at the crib, on bended knee, gazing on Jesus in the manger. We’re there, on bended knee, gazing up at Jesus on the cross. And between the crib and the cross, Jesus showed us how to live – humbly – with forgiveness, pointing others to the crib and the cross.
Lord JESUS, we praise You, Son of the Most High God, Savior of the world. We adore and worship You; and pray our lives bring You honor and glory, pointing others to You.
