Of course, God spared Joseph this burden. In both the announcement to Mary and in Joseph’s own dream, the angelic instructions were clear: name him Jesus. So here during the first week of Advent, which began this past weekend, on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, we mark the giving of the name that is now the single most recognized name the w...
The English Joshua and Jesus come from one Hebrew name: Yeshua. So Joshua is the name Mary would have heard when the angel first spoke it. “You shall call his name Yeshua” (Luke 1:31) — one of the great names in the history of God’s people. The great Moses handed the reins to Joshua, of all men, and he led the people as they marched across the Jord...
But not only will he be surpassingly great, but then comes the announcement that would seem even more surreal to Joseph and Mary: this child is the Messiah, the long-promised, long-anticipated “Anointed One.” He was coming to fulfill God’s promise to David in 2 Samuel 7, concerning one who would not only sit on David’s throne but do so forever.

Jesus wanted his identity as Messiah kept secret because: Some Jews were looking for a warrior Messiah to overthrow the Romans. Jesus was not this kind of Messiah.
In Matthew’s Gospel (16:13-17), Peter declares Jesus as the Messiah: Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. — Matthew 16:13-17. Through this statement Jesus ...
Dec 10, 2018 · As Christians, we believe Jesus is the anointed Messiah, the Davidic king, the Christ. But how did we arrive at such a massive claim? Historically, this has proven to be no small debate. If Christ is the long-awaited Messiah, why does the Old Testament have so few unambiguous texts we can point to as proof?
