Matt 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
Over seven hundred times in the New Testament is this name used - "JESUS" (Joshua). How familiar we are with that name! Joshua of the Old Testament, who saved Israel by leading them through the River Jordan, fought their battles, and was steadfast in his allegiance to God and His people. He was a type of our Lord who is our Joshua; who fights our battles for us; who is our Leader, our Protector, our Savior! Who will never cease His Lordship until He has us safely in the sheepfold on the other side. Hallelujah!, what a Savior!
This day, Thou Savior of our souls, in whom we are seperated for eternity, guide us by Thy Holy Spirit to the praise of Thy grace. Amen.
