Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know (2 of 4)
Series: What's in a Name?
Mike Stone
Matthew 1:18-25
Part 2 in the Series: What's in a Name?
The birth names of the Son of God
I was preaching a revival one time and I got a little long-winded because the people were very responsive (Amen, Preach it, etc). About 45 minutes into the message (and I wasn't slowing down at all) the host pastor starting shouting, ''Amen, Pharaoh!''
After the service I asked this host pastor about his exclamation.
I said I understood ''amen'' and ''that's right'' and ''preach it'' but
I didn't understand what he meant by shouting ''Amen Pharaoh.'' He said it meant, ''Let my people go!''
So I don't want to keep you too long but I do want to continue our Christmas series, ''What's in a name?'' Recently, we have been looking at passages of Scripture that announce what the Christ child would be ''called.''
Isaiah 9:6 - His name shall be CALLED, ''Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 7:14 - A virgin will conceive, give birth to a son and will call His name, Emmanuel.
Luke 1:35 - He shall be called the Son of God
And today in Matthew 1:21 - You will call His name Jesus
We are going to focus, not so much on the REALITY of His name and the RECORD of His name but the REASON for His name.
Names are points of association. Certain things come to mind when you mention those names.
Some because of great sin - Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Osama Bin Laden
Some because of great success - Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet
Today we study a name that brings certain things to mind: Power, healing, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, holiness, justice, and salvation. It's the wonderful name of Jesus, the sweetest name I know. What does His name really mean? Of course, the name ''Jesus'' literally means, ''The Lord saves.'' But does that sweetest of all names convey even more?
