The Birth of Christ

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. Luke 1:31 (NKJV)

Mary was told by the angel how she was to be favored by God. She was to bear and be the mother of the Messiah the Savior of the world.

1. And shall call His name Jesus.
Mary was actually told what she was to name the Messiah: Jesus. He will save. The Hebrew form is Joshua (yasha), meaning Jehovah is salvation or He is the Savior. Just as Joshua had led Israel into the Promised Land (see Joshua 1:1, 2), so Jesus would lead His people into eternal life.

2. His great person.
He was to be the Son of David and was to receive the throne of David. This indicates that Mary was a descendant of David; therefore, Christ Himself would become a descendant of David. He was to be called the Son of the Highest. The Highest, of course, is God. Therefore, Jesus is the Son of God, that is, of the very nature of God.

3. His kingdom is eternal.
Jesus was to teach that His kingdom would not be of this earth, for nothing on this earth lasts (John 19:36). Therefore, the kingdom was to be spiritual, by which it would be eternal. Centuries earlier, God had promised David that David's kingdom would last forever (2 Samuel 7:16). This promise was fulfilled in the coming of Jesus, a direct descendant of David, whose Kingdom will never end.
