Commentary on Luke 1:31
Gabriel announces Mary will conceive and bear a son named Jesus. The name 'Jesus' (Greek 'Iēsous,' Ἰησοῦς, from Hebrew 'Yeshua,' יֵשׁוּעַ) means 'Yahweh saves' or 'the LORD is salvation.' This name explicitly identifies the child's redemptive mission—He will save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21). The naming is divinely prescribed, not chosen by parents, indicating divine sovereignty over the incarnation. Every time the name is spoken, it proclaims the gospel message.
