Names Of Jesus For AdventSmakprov

Saviour: When you think of the term ‘Saviour’, what images immediately come to mind? For me, and growing up as a kid on the beach in Australia, one of the first images is that of a lifeguard. They guide those at the beach to do the right thing, but (to some degree) expecting that they will be needed, they are ready to go—to rescue people who are caught in the wrong places and in trouble. In Jesus we find our ultimate saviour, but from much more than just the threat of drowning at the beach. Jesus rescued us from ultimate separation  from God for eternity. Jesus saves His people by dying to redeem them, by giving the Holy Spirit to renew them by His power, by enabling them to overcome their spiritual enemies, by sustaining them in trials and in death, and by raising them up at the last day. Jesus was not God’s plan B when sin entered the world. He was God’s plan A, and in His kindness, God sent His own Son to live the perfect life, and to die to save us from eternal separation from Him. Thanks God for Jesus.
