"On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, He was named Jesus, the name the angel had given Him before He was conceived." (Luke 2:21)
Where did the name 'Jesus' come from? Was this name chosen by Mary? Did Joseph have a say in the choice of the baby's name? No! This was nothing to do with Mary and Joseph. The name was given by God. It's no ordinary name. It was never a case of "the name could have been this or it could have been that." There was never a question of "should we have given him a different name?" The name 'Jesus' means 'Saviour' - and that's exactly what Jesus is: our Saviour.
