Title: Savior Jesus Christ (Matthew 01:20-21)
A boat capsized upstream of Niagara Falls. There were two people on the boat, and they threw ropes from the river to rescue them. One man caught on to the rope and survived, while the other caught the log floating from above without holding onto the rope. As a result, the log, carrying the person, fell into the waterfall and disappeared without a trace. Because the tree was not connected to the people on the river.
Human salvation is similar. People hold onto the log of politics, economy, social system, and science, the log of philosophy, ethics, morality, precedent, and religion, and the log of honor, power and gold, but in the end they have no choice but to fall into a waterfall of despair. But those who hold on to the ropes that Jesus Christ casts will surely be saved. Because that rope is fastened to the cross of Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of mankind and rose from the dead on the third day. What kind of person is Jesus Christ? Today, I would like to share grace with you under the title of Savior Jesus Christ.
1. He was born of the virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Why did Jesus Christ have to be born of the virgin Mary If Jesus Christ had been born from the normal relationship between Joseph and Mary, Jesus Christ would have been born as one of sinners like us and could not have been the savior of mankind. . Physiologists say that when a child is formed, the mother does not bestow her own blood.
In his book Chemistry of blood, De Ham says, "The blood that flows through the arteries and veins of a child does not come from the mother, but is produced in the body of the fetus only after the man's semen enters it. Not fertilized. The egg cannot produce blood because the woman's egg cell does not contain the basic element that can produce blood on its own.Blood production must be after the male element has been introduced. "It has to get into the egg cell. Until the male spermatozoa binds to the egg cell, the egg cell has no life. And there is life in the blood, and the male spermatozoon is the source of the blood."
If, as above, the masculine element is the source of blood, if the birth of Jesus Christ was a natural birth in which Joseph became the father, then Jesus Christ would have the same fallen human blood as us. Therefore, by the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ came as a sinless human body from the virgin Mary, opening the way for the forgiveness of sins. The blood in the body of Christ was given directly by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Just as children have the blood of the Father, Jesus Christ has the life of God the Father, and this Holy Spirit is the light of mankind (John 1:4). But since human life is corrupt and its life is in blood, there is sin in human blood (Leviticus 17:11). This is the reason why even if we try to wash with the detergent of philosophy, ethics, morals, good deeds and religion, we cannot get rid of the sins that are flowing through the descendants of Adam, even if we pack them beautifully with honor, power, and gold. Then, why did Jesus Christ, who came in the form of a sinless human, be crucified and shed His blood? The Bible says, “God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we can see the righteousness of God in Him. that he might become” (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Can the blind lead the blind and sinners bear the sins of sinners? Jesus Christ came in the body of a sinless man and was judged, cursed, forsaken, and descended into hell to suffer death and die for sinful me. He confiscated the keys of hell and hell, resurrected and ascended into heaven on the 3rd day, and sat on the right and left side of the throne, thus laying a bridge for us to reach God.
Brothers and sisters, sin has flowed through the bloodstream of human beings since Adam. He is a sinner who has no choice but to sin, and he is a sinner who has sin in him even before he commits any sin. Ultimately, that sin will destroy the body and destroy the soul.
Shakespeare, speaking of these human sins and guilt, through McBad's mouth, said, "Oh, even with all the perfumes of Arabia, can you not wash this bloody little hand? " he screams.
Dear saints, Wouldn't you like to be set free from the sin that dwells in your soul and flows in your veins? The Bible says, "Come, let us reason together, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool" (Isaiah 1). :18) "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
Confess your sins Say that you are an irresistible sinner Receive Jesus Christ. Your sins will be removed and you will be filled with the emotion of forgiveness, thanksgiving, and joy.
2. He is with all believers through the Word and the Holy Spirit.
“Behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and he will call his name Immanuel, which is translated, “God with us” (Matthew 1:23). Jesus Christ was with men in the flesh 2000 years ago, but now he He gave the name of Jesus on his behalf and sent the Word and the Holy Spirit to be with the saints, dwell in them, and work tirelessly for them. To be with you means to be a guarantee of safety, to dwell in you is the source of all power, and to work for you means to be a guarantee of success and victory.
The Bible says, "I will not leave you orphaned, but I will come to you, for in a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me, for I live and you will live. You shall know what is in you" (John 14:18), "I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:13).
The Lord saved the disciples by being with them when they met a great storm and died on their way to the Gerasea region, and gave them overflowing blessings by working for them when they threw their nets all night but did not catch a single fish and were only washing empty nets.
It's amazing, frustrating, and grievous among us, and no one knows what's inside of me.
Even if there is no husband, wife, children, or friends, the Lord Emmanuel knows everything. And I believe that you are with us, feel the pain, and go one step further and bear your burden and pain on the cross.
“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace; and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
Believe that this same Lord is with you in the name, word and Holy Spirit of Christ, dwells in you and works for you. You will experience wonderful peace, power, and victory. The Bible says, "Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).
3. It literally means savior.
“You will give birth to a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, and he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). The Greek word for salvation is Sozo or Soteria, which means, ' dry it out Treat. It has the meaning of 'to make whole.' Therefore, it means that the Savior Jesus Christ is the Savior who can rescue any person and any problem.
When Hezekiah fell ill with a mortal disease, he chirped like a swallow against the wall and wept like a dove and waited for the Lord's salvation, and received an extension of life for 15 years. .
When David fled to the Philistines to live with King Achish, once he reached Ziklag where they lived in three days, the city was burned down, all the children and women were taken captive, and Gasan was plundered. In a desperate situation where the people were trying to kill David, David had the courage to rely on God and succeeded in pursuing the Amalekites, and he was able to find the people and everything he had lost (1 Samuel 30). The Bible says, "Is there any poor among you, or is there any sick, or is there anyone suffering the burden of sin? Is there anyone who fears judgment, death, and destruction? Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). ) promised.
Who saved the Hebrews from 400 years of slavery in Egypt? Who brought down Jericho, who made the Jordan River cross like dry land, who made David the young man defeat Goliath, who turned water into wine, who fed 5,000 people with 5 bottles and 2 fish? Did you leave it full of 12 Gwangjuri
Dear brothers and sisters, who is Jesus Christ? He was born of the virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is the One who opened the way for redemption by dying for the sins of mankind and resurrecting on the third day. Even at this time, He is working with you, in you, and for you. He is the one who saves, heals, and perfects you.
Confess your sins Give my life and accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and God. Trust him and trust him. Then you will know the Savior Jesus Christ, experience life, salvation, blessings, and find eternal hope.
