JESUS
THE SAVIOUR
Memorise:
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he
shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

John 3:16-18, Bible in one year: Judges 10-11, Matthew 26:26-46
The number-one treasure of the Church is
Jesus Christ. Through Him, all things consist (Colossians 1:17). He is the
Almighty who on one can make mightier; He is the richest one who no one can
make richer. The earth and its fullness belong to Him. Every bit of what He
says is always in our own best interest. Jesus teaches that there is nothing
more valuable than the soul of a man (Mathew 16:26). The salvation of your soul
is worth more than all the treasures of this world. The devil is after this
salvation because thieves only go after treasures. The devil would do anything
within his power to inhibit our relationship with the Giver of salvation, Jesus
the Saviour. There is nothing as great as following Jesus. Following Jesus will
cost you a lot of things, just as it cost God the Father the price of Jesus His
Son to establish your salvation. Anyone who will follow Jesus the Saviour must
be ready for a life of discipleship. This will be measured by the proof of your
willingness to go the extra mile. You have to set a high bar of self-denial for
yourself. If you want to follow Jesus, you must not allow anything to come
between you and your loyalty to him.
The greatest problem of man is nothing
else but the issue of sin. This problem was what Jesus the Saviour came to
solve. Every benefit we can derive from Jesus is tied to salvation. Without
salvation, man is doomed for destruction. When you accept Jesus, you receive
the power to become great (John 1:12). Anyone who does not accept this free
gift of God cannot attain their full potential in life. May you not leave this
world without fully achieving the plan and purpose of God for your life in
Jesus’ Name. When you accept Jesus, there will be an instant change in your
life. Those who knew you before will not be able to identify you again by
virtue of the transformation that would have taken place in your life. Those
who were acquainted with your past life will never be able to correlate your
past with your present (2nd Corinthians 5:17). One of my sons used
to be an impossible character. He was so unruly that during holiday periods,
parents would keep their children under lock and key the moment they discovered
he was around. This was because he would go for anything in a skirt. However,
he eventually met with Jesus the Saviour and surrendered his life to Him and
immediately, his life was transformed. Those who knew him before wondered how
the change happened. You too can experience Jesus the Saviour today and
overcome all sins (Galatians 5:24). As long as you are sincere, help is very
close to you. All you need to do is ask Him to come into your life and change
your negative experience to a positive one.
