[:en]Thoughts from “Our Daily Bread” (7/16/17)[:]

[:en]The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said:  “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” (Mat. 1:20-21).

The name of Jesus explained the reason for His coming into the world.  And He had fulfilled His mission for the purpose of redemption.  How about you?  Do you live up to the name that was given to you?[:]
