Given by the angel at the time of the Annunciation, the name “Jesus” means “God saves”. The name expresses his identity and his mission “because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew1:21). Peter proclaimed that “there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we can be saved” (Acts 4:12).
