The Naming of Jesus - Luke 2:15-21


Our Scriptures tell us that Mary and Joseph gave their son the Hebrew name Joshua, meaning "God saves".

Yet, the name of Jesus has come to mean many things for us.  James Montgomery, in his hymn Hail to the Lord's Anointed, penned the following first and last lines:
Hail to the Lord's anointed, great David's greater Son!
His name shall stand forever; that name to us is Love.

As you begin this new calendar year, what does the name, Jesus, mean to you?
