Mary's Son 's Future
Luke 1:30-33
Jesus, a Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua, was a common name meaning "the Lord saves." Just as Joshua had led Israel into the Promised Land (see Joshua 1:1, 2), so Jesus would lead his people into eternal life. The symbolism of his name was not lost on the people of his day, who took names seriously and saw them as a source of power. In Jesus' name, people were healed, demons were banished, and sins were forgiven.
