The significance of the Child is indicated by his two names. He is ‘Emmanuel.’ This is meaningful in two ways. First, it indicates who Jesus is: ‘God with us.’ Second, it implies that Jesus is the fulfilment of ancient prophecy (Isaiah 7:14): God, indeed, is faithful to promises. The second name indicates what Jesus will do: ‘Jesus’ means ‘Saviour,’ for ‘he will save his people from their sins’ (2:21).
