Why is the name Jesus significant?

Answered in 1 source

The name Jesus means 'Jehovah Savior,' signifying His role in salvation.

The angel instructs Mary to name her son Jesus, as stated in Luke 1:31. This name, meaning 'Jehovah Savior,' encapsulates His mission to save His people from their sins, as referenced also in Matthew 1:21. The significance lies in that Jesus embodies both divine authority and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. His name is powerful, with the authority to heal, soothe sorrows, and save, underscoring that it is the only name by which we can be saved. Believers call upon His name in faith, as it is through Him that they find true redemption.
