Matthew 1 v 21
"And she will have a son, and you are to
name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
Jesus means the ‘Lord saves’. The prophet Isaiah writing in the Old
Testament predicted the saviour’s birth and called him ‘Immanuel – God is with
us.’ Jesus was God in the flesh, the
very God, the creator of the universe, birthed into the world he created, as a
baby.
The good news is that Jesus came to pay the
price, to redeem us, and stop God’s wrath upon sin. Jesus ended the war between
God and man.
Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians that God is
no longer counting men’s sins against them. By His death on the cross he reconciled
man back to God and all sin, for every human alive, is forgiven at the cross.
All sin, past, present and future sin was placed upon Jesus and he died in our
place and took our punishment. The truth is that before you were born, your
sins were forgiven.
Sin separates us from God, but Christ died
to end the separation and bring us into the royal family of God.
His death saved us from all sin and by his
resurrection he gave us new life. Today the only thing that keeps man from God
is unbelief. No matter how good I am I cannot make the grade, my works and
performance mean nothing. The only way to God is by saying thank you to Christ
for all he did at the Cross and resurrection and receiving and living in the
abundance of his grace.
Christ has provided all I need and I am
united with Him through the Holy Spirit. He lives in me and I am alive to him.
The Lord Saves, my sin has been eternally
forgiven.
