S - Scripture:

Matthew 1:21 She will bear a son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.

O- Observation: 

These are the words of the angel spoken to Joseph as he wrestles with the news that Mary, his betrothed is with child. The angel tells him not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife, for the child 

has been conceived by the Holy Spirit. But, what’s really important to us is; His Name shall be Jesus for he will save His people from their sins! The name Jesus means to deliver, or in this case to deliver us from the penalty of our sin. To save us! Only a Holy God would devise a plan like that with His only Son!

A - Application: 

This is the heart of the Gospel for us-Jesus saves those who repent and trust in Him. Each one of us, unless Christ comes first, will die. That’s the only way out of this world! But it’s not the end, rather it is, because of Jesus, the beginning of eternity with Him! Acts 4:12 KJV Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved! Also John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me! ONLY JESUS SAVES!!!

P- Prayer: Gracious Father, fill your people with Your Spirit, so that all may know that JESUS SAVES! In JESUS NAME, Amen
