j j I—deg fchoel l.eeseoe * "God With Us" Lesson for December 20,19 M BukmanS Beading: Matthew I. IMvollonal Beadinc laalah «:1-S. WHAT DO WE SEE most at Christinas? A fat "saint" who probably never lived; babies; manger scenes; sleighs (who sees real ones any more?), wreaths and poinsettias. But these are not the real Christmas.

The day is a birthday. Never mind the fact that the date is almost certainly not the date on which Jesus was born; granted that the date and the festival were not specially noted until about

wi Dr. Foreman

three hundred years later. The fact is, this is the day now marked off by the church as an annual celebration of the birth of our Lord. It is not meant to be a day for glamorizing mother* hood or babyhood; not a day best celebrated in department stores. Santa Claus will do as a happy make-believe; but Santa is not the meaning of the day. If we celebrate it as the Lord’s birthday, we may well say we are at the same time celebrating the birthday of the world. The two names of Jesus We can put together two sentences about the name of Jesus. When a baby is born, visitors who come to admire ask as a first question: What do you think you’ll name her (or him)? The baby born at Bethlehem, whatever the year, whatever the weather, had been named before he was born. It's a very interesting thing Matthew says here. The child is to be called Jesus, the angel told Joseph; and Matthew comments that this fulfills a prophecy which says plainly that his name shall be called Emmanuel. So far as the New Testament goes, no one actually called Jesus Emmanuel. The family did not, his mother did not, the writers of the New Testairment generally use other ways df speaking of him. Every reader is entitled to his own guess as to why this was, and why Mat-* thew sees in “Jesus” the fulfilling of the prophecy that his name would be called Emmanuel. (Immanuel is, of course, just another spelling, meaning the same thing exactly, God with us.) The guess ventured here is this: Jesus was so to speak his public name; Emmanuel was a private name (even Jesus never used it) — one might say God’s name for his son; we might say that the private name explains the public name. Name of an Army man Nobody in Jesus’ time could have been surprised by the name he bore. No doubt many boys had the same. Just as boys to this day are named for George Washington and Robert E. Lee, so boys in those days were i named now and then for Joshua, ‘■the famous army man, one of Israel’s heroes in her hall of 'Tame. The name Jesus and the . name Joshua are just the same in Hebrew, Jesus’ own language. The name means deliverer, rescuer, one who comes to the help of those in distress. The name has also a tinge of triumph about it. It means a conquering hero, one who delivers by beating down the enemy. The name would suggest something like a gallant knight of feudal times, his sword unsheathed for the defense of the weak and helpless, rescuing prisoners from dungeons. In olden times men had given the name “Messiah” to the hoped-for Deliverer; and the language of many of the prophets used had led people to think the Coming One would be a great .military man, saving the Jews Tram the Greeks or the Romans as the case might be. But the name Jesus was never taken by Jesus in a military way. He raised no army, would not accept even an army of angels if it were offered him. Jesus’ enemy was not the Roman empire, not Pilate, not Herod. It was Evil in every form, it was most of all Sin. Sin is the worst tyrant that ever choked the life out of men who should be free. Every time we hear the name Jesus, we are meant to think of him as the deliverer from sin.
