Notes on this verse:

“Jesus” (see verse 25; Luke 1:31). The name actually means “Savior”

You see in these Scriptures that Jesus is the Son of God. He had no earthly father. Joseph was not Jesus’ father. God was His Father. Mary furnished the flesh, and God furnished the Spirit.

Even in the name that was chosen for the Son of God to use on this earth, there is a message.

All of this explanation here, of the birth of Jesus is startling to us, but can you imagine how startled, or surprised, Joseph was when an angel told him that Mary was carrying the Messiah. His people had been looking for Messiah all of Joseph’s life. Messiah was to actually live in his home.
