How We Need A Savior Today!

 

How We Need A Savior Today!

"But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:10-12)

Walk-Line: While driving late at night, a man saw a house on fire. He parked in the driveway, rushed into the burning home, and led four children to safety. When the teenage babysitter realized one of the siblings was still inside, she told the man. Without hesitation, he reentered the inferno. Trapped on the second floor with the six-year-old girl, the man broke a window. He jumped to safety with the child in his arms, just as emergency teams arrived at the scene. Choosing concern for others over himself, he rescued all the children. 

An old hymn that my family used to sing entitled "Ivory Palaces" expresses the motive behind Jesus coming into the world." The chorus goes: "Out of the ivory palaces, Into a world of woe. Only His great eternal love, made my Savior go."

Not only do we need a Savior to rescue us from sin's grip on our lives, we need to be saved from the selfishness and hatred that plagues our planet today. Why won't we let Jesus rescue us? We are in such a mess. And only by turning our lives over to Him, can we find the salvation, and peace we so long for in this world, and in this life! GP

We need a Savior today, in the worst way.
That's why Jesus came to be this for us.
He came to bring salvation, and eternal life,
To all who will submit, to all who will trust!
