Save

For the joy set before him, Jesus took on the cross for us (Hebrews 12:1-2). Christ the Lord is the One, the only One, who delivers true joy to the deepest part of our hearts. 

From the first moment of the miraculous conception, Jesus humbled himself. He was “made in human likeness” to die in our place on the cross. He gave his life as our substitute to make it possible for us to have peace with God.

Jesus is the horn of salvation. He is the only One who has the power to save.

Jesus voluntarily went to the cross to die for your sins, to pay sin’s penalty as your substitute. He provided the way—the only way—to have an eternal relationship with God. Jesus is, indeed, “the Lord saves.”

The Lord your God is in your midst.

Why do I so often forget that Jesus “came to seek and to save what was lost?” Zacchaeus reminds me to turn my judgment to prayer.

You can’t save yourself. Only Jesus can save you. Trust Him completely to take you through this life and one day carry you home.

God sent Jesus to die just for you! That’s how much He loves you! You are a child of the living God. He takes great pleasure in you.

That’s the life of obedience God calls us to. Is that the life of obedience that you are committed to?
