The literal meaning of Saviour is the One who saves.
Do you have a Saviour? Who is He? What is His name?
Jesus means Saviour. Jesus means deliverer. Jesus is born for you and me.
What has the Saviour been born to do?
1) Deliver us from darkness.
Walking in darkness is walking without vision and direction.
Jesus says, "I am the light. He who walks with Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
Step into the light for the deliverer has prepared a pathway for you.
2) The deliverer has come to save us from death.
Death literally means death. Death means total loss with no hope of returning back.
Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life." He would give you the power to rise up again.
The deliverer has come to save you from death and total loss.
3) Deliver us from deception.
Deception is deliberately causing someone to believe something that is not true.
The Bible says a fool says in his heart that there is no God.
There is also the deception that there are many ways to come to God.
Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Eternal life just simply means a life that we live forever never separated from God. Eternal life means a life forever together with God.
Suppose you were to die today, do you know for sure that you where you are going?
Suppose you were to die today and meet God in heaven and He asks, "Why should I allow you to enter heaven?"
The good news is eternal life is a free gift from God. It is not earned or deserved.
But man cannot receive this free gift because of sin. Sin is anything that violates the law of God. It includes thoughts and actions.
Man cannot save ourselves. You may think you can override sin with good deeds. No amount of good deeds can cover one's sin.
What did God do? God is both merciful and yet just.
Man cannot save himself so God sent a deliverer. God shows His mercy and justice through Jesus Christ. He paid the penalty of all of our sins. He died and rose on the third day.
The reason why Jesus came is so that He can give us peace. Peace means to join something together that was once separated and torn apart.
That is why Jesus has come to put together yourself and Himself out of the power of darkness into light, out of death into life, out of deception into truth.
This is the message of Christmas. The deliverer has come to put vision back into your life. The deliverer has come so that you can have peace with God and peace with one another.
