Matthew 1:21
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Jesus was born of Mary and Joseph at Jerusalem. Joseph was called the son of David because he was of the lineage of David; thus, Jesus was of the lineage of David. Jesus was born of a mortal mother, Mary, and an immortal Father, Elohim.
The angel told Joseph and Mary to name their new born babe, Jesus, for He would save the world from their sins, not in their sins, but from their sins predicated upon their repentance. Saving people from their sins made Him the Savior, the one who saves, rescues, preserves, delivers. He is the Savior, the Rescuer, the Preserver, and the Deliverer for all humanity and all living things. He is the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Beside Him, there is no other. He is the Great I Am. He is the powerful I Am.
