TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 13, 2023
Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 10:02AM Jesus, the Savior
Today is December 13, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
When we say that 'Jesus Saves' sometimes people think that he is saving us from this world; or he's saving us from our financial hardships; or that he's saving us from our bad relationships.
No. That's not it. The bible makes it clear that Jesus is saving us from
the wrath of God.
And the wrath of God is a universal problem that all of us face as evident by the fact that all of us die. And so, Jesus is saving us from death; from sin; from
the wrath of God.
However, the difference between Jesus saving us versus, say, a firefighter saving us, is that Jesus is not just saving us from something. He is saving us for something.
Jesus is saving us for relationship. Jesus is saving us to be reconciled back to God.
I there lies the sticking point. Many would embrace Jesus the savior of God's wrath but do not want Jesus the savior of my relationship with God. Many want God to save them from death but not tell them what to do with their time or energy or money, or tell them who we are supposed to love.
Many want God to just save them from his wrath and then leave them alone.
But that is not what Jesus does. And we cannot pick and choose here. To be a Christian is to embrace all of what 'Jesus the Savior' does. And that is the gospel message we need to be sharing to others.
As Apostle Paul writes eloquently in 2 Corinthians 5:20b "We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God."
God's blessing as you mediate on Jesus 'the Savior' and your relationship with God, and I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.
