As Matthew explains the origin of the Christ, we are struck with the reality that this is real history. And in this text, we are introduced to the vessels by which the Messiah would come: Joseph and Mary. She will be the virgin who miraculously carries this Child and Joseph is the one who names Jesus, legally declaring him a "son of David." Matthew mentions two important names here: Jesus and Immanuel. Jesus is from the Hebrew Yeshua which means Yahweh is salvation and that tells us what He plans to do: save His people from their sin. And the name Immanuel tells us how He will do it: He will be God with us. For God to save us, He has to become one of us, be with us, die for us, and save us.
