The word salvation means being delivered from sin and the penalty of sin. So, when the angel of the Lord appeared in Luke 2:10 and proclaimed that, "Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior," he was announcing what Jesus had come to do. You will note that even before this, the prophets Isaiah and Micah had prophesied about the coming of Jesus centuries before His birth.
The Lord is not willing to leave his children in sin. He is a compassionate Father who was willing to give His only begotten Son to redeem us. Jesus did not come merely as a man; He came in the fullness of His office to redeem, save, and reconcile humanity to God. Through His life, teachings, death, and resurrection, He showed us how to live. It is because of who He is and what He accomplished that we carry and proclaim the message of Jesus today, so we do not preach the message Jesus preached but we preach Jesus.
Jesus is the One who can carry you on His shoulders, no matter how heavy you think your burdens are. He is the Burden Bearer.
Jesus is the One who makes life beautiful, when your heart longs for Him daily. Jesus is the One who is able to save, redeem, and restore.
Today, I bring you a reminder that God's desire is for you to come into the knowledge of Jesus Christ through salvation. The purpose for which Jesus came cannot be fully manifested in your life until you say, "Yes, Lord, I agree."
So today I admonish you, choose Jesus.
Stay Revived!
