Names of Jesus at Christmas

Matthew 1 December 6, 2020

I. Introduction:

A. When you see this name think how many people, do you know with this name?

Pat

1. You probably know a number of people with that name!

2. How about this name “Pat Peglow”

3. All of a sudden out of all the Pats you know in the world this identifies one

specific Pat in the world of Pats

B. Names are what people are called by; they distinguish us and identify us from all

the other people in the world.

1. The name represents me!

2. In other words if you were talking about me with a group of people and you

use my name you are not talking about the name in particular but the person

that name identifies and represents – Pat Peglow!

C. At the time when Jesus was born, when people heard the name Jesus how many

people did they know with that name.

1. Actually Jesus was a common name back then so when they heard that name

there were a lot of people they could have thought of

2. But when they heard Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Christ, they thought of

the same one we think about today when we read the Bible!

D. Also, we pick names for all kinds of reasons – the way it sounds, what it means,

people or relatives we knew and respected that had that name, maybe even

matching first letters for the first name.

1. However, when it comes to the names of God they have one primary purpose

– revelation.

2. That simply means they reveal something to us or tell us something about

God.

3. They tell us about His character, His being, His work, His authority, His

majesty, His rank, His power, His position, etc.

E. Finally, God’s names are holy!

1. One of the 10 commandments tells us not to take the Lord’s name in vain.

2. Jesus prayed that God’s name would be made hallowed/holy here in this

world. Holy means one of a kind and separate from everything else. God’s

name is like no other name and is to be treated with great respect and handled

carefully!

3. Philippians 2:9-11 tells us this: Read

• So, this Christmas we can learn more about who Jesus is. We are going to be looking

at the names that are connected with him at His birth. The name we are going to

begin with this morning is

II. The name Jesus

A. Turn to Matthew 1 where Jesus is given this name, where we find a young couple

named Joseph and Mary who are engaged to be married.

1. Joseph finds out that Mary is pregnant, and this deeply bothers him because

he knows that they have not engaged in sex together so he plans to break the

relationship.

2. Then an angel appears to him in a dream and tells him this: Read 1:20-21,

24-25

B. In v21, he tells them why they are to name him Jesus. Reread 21b

1. The name Jesus comes from the Hebrew name Joshua. Which simply means

– Yahweh saves or the Lord saves

2. This name points us to Jesus’ work, His mission to save us from our sins,

thus He is called the Savior, the Redeemer. Hebrews 2 calls Him the author

of our salvation.

a) Jesus was born to save us from our sins!

C. Let me remind you of a chart we used earlier this year when we were introducing

ourselves to our spiritual blessings in Christ.

1. We learned at that time that salvation has three aspects to it, past, present and

future. It is also important that we are people who are made up a three key

parts!

2. Put up chart on person

3. Put up chart on salvation

4. Explain as God gives utterance

• We will be looking at other names of Jesus at His birth in this series to see what we

can learn and experience of Him but in

III. Closing

A. Let me ask you this – which part of saving us from our sins do you need?

Which part of Jesus’ work do you need in your life today?

1. You need to be saved from the penalty of your sins so you can come into a

relationship with God. This is called justification – declared righteous by

God

a) Read 2 Corinthians 5:21

b) How do we respond to this to experience this righteousness? Read

Romans 4:5

c) Invite you now if you have never transferred your trust and reliance from

your good works and religious deeds to Jesus what He did for you, do it

today and you will begin the journey of being saved from your sins!

2. Do you need to be saved from the power of sin in your life? Are you already

saved, forgiven and justified but the impact of sin upon your life and

relationships is hampering from having that abundant life that Jesus

promised? Your need is sanctification

a) Turn and read Romans 8:10-11

b) Now the Spirit of Jesus Christ lives inside of these bodies that are prone

to sin. What He does is fill our lives with the resurrected life of Jesus

thus dismantling the impact of sin in our lives.

c) Our need is the same as it was when we first came to Christ – faith in

Jesus Christ to save me! Now my trust is moment-by-moment relying

upon the resurrected Christ who lives in me to win my battle with sin!

Again, it is a transferring of my trust from myself to the indwelling Spirit

of Jesus to win my daily battle with sin.

3. Finally, maybe your great need today is just the hope in that future time when

Jesus will return to save us from our sin infested bodies and world. Read

Romans 8:23-25

B. As communion is passed consider before the Lord and talk to Him about your

need, and thank Jesus for dying for you to make all of this possible

1. Josh pick it up with communion from here
