Seems simple enough right!?! It is, and the best part is The Savior - Saves!
If you look it up in the dicitionary - it tells you the difference between a savior and Savior. That capital letter means something! It means "a title of God" "who saves, rescues, or delivers"
We need to realize who we are - we are sinners and we are in need of THE SAVIOR!
Jesus was born the Savior. We read in Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. He didn't become it, He already was it!
Jesus lived as the Savior. So many passages in the Bible, I could write forever, but I love the story of the woman at the well (John 4). Jesus explains to her that He is the Savior and he has come for everyone. No matter their background, the color of their skin, their age, He's the SAVIOUR for all!
Jesus died as the Savior. He has been beaten, mocked, made fun of, he has a crown of thornes in his head, he has been stripped of everything, he is bleeding, hanging on a cross, and yet we read in Luke 23 that he tells the sinner hanging on a cross beside Him, "Today you will be with me in paradise". In his final moments, He saves!
And I am so glad the story doesn't end there . . .
Jesus rose as Savior. In Luke 24 it tells how the women were coming to the tomb with the spices for his burial place, but when they got there the angel tells them HE HAS RISEN!!! The SAVIOR is ALIVE! The grave couldn't hold Him. Satan didn't win. He holds the keys of death, hell, and the grave! My SAVIOR Lives!
And yes, it gets even better . . .
Jesus is coming again as the Savior. Get your life in order because He is coming for those who are ready. Recognize you need a SAVIOR!
Jude 1:24-25 NLT
Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.
