"Jesus was born to be our Savior!
“For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.”

How is Jesus our Savior? Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Israel over
2,000 years ago. He was the Son of God and of the Virgin Mary —
so He was both the Son of God and the Son of Man. As the Son of God,
He was perfect and sinless. He came to this earth to save us from our sins.

The very name Jesus means “God is salvation”. God knew that we could
not save ourselves from our sins. We are too stubborn, and too proud, and
too selfish — and we deserve the judgment of God. But God sent His Son
Jesus to born to a poor family; to live a sinless life; and then to suffer and
die in our place. The Apostle John, one of Jesus’ followers, wrote “And we
have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.”

Is Jesus your Savior today? Just like any gift, you must receive it for it to be
yours. If you have prayed and truly asked forgiveness of your sins and for Jesus Christ
to be your Savior, then Jesus Christ is your Savior today. Jesus saves us from hell, and sin,
and the punishment for our sins and gives us hope for the future and the gift of eternal life.
Let us praise Him together!

So, this week, let us pray and"
