Spurgeon's Sermons Charles Spurgeon

Is not the name of Jesus to be viewed with reverential delight by each one of us when we remember from where it came? He is not a Savior of our own setting up, but God the everlasting Father has set Him forth for our Deliverer and Savior, saying, "You shall call His name Jesus." It is a name which the Holy Spirit explains, for He tells us the reason for the name of Jesus-"For He shall save His people from their sins." "Savior" is the meaning of the name, but it has a fuller sense hidden within, for in its Hebrew form it means, "the salvation of the Lord," or, "the Lord of salvation," or "the Savior." The angel interprets it, "He shall save," and the word for, "He," is very emphatic.
