JESUS IS OUR SAVIOR

 JESUS IS OUR SAVIOR

TEXT: “For there is born to you this day in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:11

This great angelic announcement to the shepherds has gargantuan implications for each and every one of us. Why?

Because men need a Savior. We need deliverance. We need rescuing.

From what, you may ask?

From ourselves!

From our sins!

From death, hell and the grave!

And Jesus Christ is the only one who can do that.

We need deliverance from the penalty of sin. Sin condemns us and damns us and exposes us to the eternal wrath of God. Jesus came to deliver us from that penalty by assuming it upon Himself. That is called the doctrine of justification.  Romans 3:21-26

We need deliverance from the power of sin. Once we are saved, we still must battle the power of indwelling sin and a risen Christ gives that to us. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. See I John 4:4. This is called sanctification.

We need deliverance from the very presence of sin. That has to do with glorification and will one day take place in heaven. God will wipe away every tear from our eyes. There will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. No more pain, for the former things have passed away. That is in heaven --- forever.  See Revelation 21:1-4

Today, thank God for a living, risen and soon coming Savior!
