Matthew 1:21-22 And she shall bring forth a son, and you shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.… I. Consider this AS AN ENEMY. 1. Behold sin with regard to God. 2. Behold sin in its names. 3. Behold the effects of sin. 4. That Christ derives from this work His highest title. II. Consider IN WHAT MANNER HE SAVES HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS. 1. He redeems them by price. 2. He saves them by power. 3. He saves from the guilt of sin. 4. He saves from the love of sin. (W. Jay.)In old times God was known by names of power, of nature, of majesty; but His name of mercy was reserved till now. (Bishop J. Taylor.)
