The origin of Jesus Christ is discussed. 

We see mankind’s first decoration of our Lord. It is rejection by Jesus by means of the law. Showing us that it must be by revelation that Christ is rightly known and the right response of faith is given. 

We also learn the Old Testament points us to Christ by the quote of Isaiah 7:14, the first of many quotes in Matthew’s Gospel. This promise of Immanuel will form the book end in Matthew’s Gospel showing how Christ is with us always until the ending of the age. 

We also see that the identity of Jesus is connecting with his purpose. Jesus means “YHWH saves.” And Jesus will “save his people from their sins.”
