"His name was called Jesus." He "was so named of the Angel, before He was conceived in the womb." The hosts of heaven knew it should be His name, and on account of it felicitated the world, when He was born. It signifies Saviour. What peace in the sound! He was a Saviour in His infancy, for then His blood began to be shed for His people. He was a Saviour upon the cross, for then his blood was fully poured out for their iniquities. He is a Saviour in heaven, for there His blood is pleaded in expiation of their offences; "He ever liveth to make intercession for them." His name is the "consolation" of His people. Amongst the weary travellers through this sinful state, it "is as ointment poured forth." They think of it, and are refreshed.
