True Messiah

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. – Acts 4:12

While many substitute Messiahs have been offered, only the True Messiah saves. While we often live for many lords, only one Lord liberates and sets us free from sin and death. While many ways are claimed to bring us close to God, Jesus insists that he is the only way.

So we're driven to one ultimate reality: do we believe salvation is in Jesus alone, or do we not. It's our choice. But what we decide about Jesus is really deciding about everything. Is Jesus your Lord? Is Jesus the name above all names in your life? Is Jesus your Savior? If not, then please reconsider, for the Bible says: "Salvation is found in no one else."

Cleaning   

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. – Psalms 103:12
Now that's a long way - from sun rising to sun setting, that's how far God has removed our sins. But the key word is removed. When we sin and come to God in repentance, God doesn't just forgive our sin; he purifies us of all unrighteousness. What was unholy in me is made righteous in him.

What was impure is now clean. What was stained is spotless. Why? How? We can now see more fully what the Psalmist could know only in part. God doesn't see our sin, but Jesus' sacrifice. His blood purifies and cleanses us! Our sin is gone and we are clean.

Spiritual Thoughts

. Jesus fulfilled the perfect requirements of the law so that we may enjoy the perfect peace of His grace.

. There’s no better news than the gospel—spread the word!

. Let’s remember in good times what we have learned in days of trouble.

. We have been saved by grace. Now we enjoy the many blessings that come by grace.

. Jesus came to bring us hope in the darkest of circumstances.
God sees the beginning to the end.
