As I was reading my Bible the other morning, it was a footnote that jumped out at me. I'm sure I've read this passage over a dozen times, but this fact never jumped out at me:
Matthew 1:21 "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins."
*c - Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means the LORD saves.
How neat - Joshua was named after our Savior! And we didn't even realize they shared the same name. Shawn's mom always told him he had to live up to his name in being a "Good" boy, which we tell Joshua, too. But, now that takes on a whole new meaning!
