For Thursday, December 22, 2022:
Luke 1:35b NLT: “The baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.”
Our Savior has a lot of names. We know him as Jesus, which means Savior or The Lord saves. Jesus is our modern English language translation. In Hebrew, it’s Yeshua or Y’shua, to save or to deliver. In the Old Testament, that same name was Joshua.
Isaiah calls him Immanuel, God with us, and also predicts that our Savior will be known as: Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.
But the angel Gabriel tells Mary that her child will be known as the Son of the Most High! Consider the complexity of God’s plan, that 1/3 of our trinitarian God would come to earth as a little baby and become the influential holy man people still worship 2,000 years later!
Mary’s baby was on a mission trip to rescue mankind!
