What does the Bible say about the names Jesus and Emmanuel?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible declares that Jesus is the Savior who will save His people from their sins, while Emmanuel signifies 'God with us'.

The names Jesus and Emmanuel are significant in the Christian faith as they encapsulate the person and work of Christ. Matthew 1:21 states that Jesus will save His people from their sins, which highlights His role as the Savior and substitute for sinners. Meanwhile, Matthew 1:23, quoting Isaiah 7:14, indicates that Emmanuel means 'God with us', denoting the incarnation of God in Christ, indicating that through Jesus, God is very much present with His people. Together, these names illustrate the dual aspects of salvation: Jesus as the one who rescues us and Emmanuel as the divine presence that comforts and guides us.
