Luke - His name was Jesus

Lu 2:21 ¶ And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Matthew and Luke give different insights into the naming of Jesus. Matthew declares that he was named Yeshuah because it was prophesied he would be called 'Emmanuel'. Matthew was solving one riddle. It is a riddle because Yeshuah does not mean 'God with us' It means 'God's salvation'. Matthew is teaching us to read a riddle in the formation of the word. Yehuah sounds like Yaweh with a 'sh' in the middle. "God with a marriage in his heart". This is how Yeshuah means 'God with us'.

Luke solves the other riddle of his name. Yeshuah sounds like, or is a pun to Yah-shuach, which means "God humbled". Luke specifically says that Jesus was 'concieved in the womb'. He is reminding us that Mary was a virgin when she conceived and after she conceived. This special conception was nothing less than the incarnation of God, God becoming man. This second riddle also declares that 'God is with us'.
