Adventistische Schriften über: "The dream Joseph received when the angel told him about the birth of Jesus"
Answer
In the dream that Joseph received, the angel of the Lord announced the forthcoming birth of a son through Mary. Joseph was instructed to name the child Jesus, which means “Savior” or “Redeemer.” The divine purpose of this child is expressly to deliver his people from their sins.
The Angel's Promise to Joseph
»To Joseph the angel of the Lord said: “And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name JESUS,” which means Savior, “for he will save his people from their sins” ... Because he saves from sin, he is called JESUS, SAVIOR.«
»I find that the angel said to Joseph regarding the promised Messiah: “You shall name him Jesus” (i.e., Savior), “for he will redeem his people from their sins.” For this very purpose he is my Savior, to save me from my sins; and that is exactly the Savior I need.«
»“And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus [Savior]; for he will redeem his people from their sins.” Matt. 1:21«
