Jesus Saves

This world that we are living in seems to be getting more and more violent.  We can see this every time we watch the evening news on our televisions.  We wonder, what in the world is going on?
The more distance a people or a nation or a world outs between themselves and God the darker things will get.  People may try to push God out of society, but they can't push Him out completely because He is God.   God can not be moved out of the way.  He is all powerful and He is Sovereign.

The Lord is still at work in people's lives all around us whether they realize it or not.  We who are believers in Jesus Christ must not get discouraged by the things that we see going on in our world today.  We should be concerned of course, but we must allow the Holy Spirit to shine the light of Christ through us in this increasingly dark world.

We are Ambassadors for Christ in this world.  We are not of this world.  We belong to a better eternal Kingdom in Heaven.  This world is not our home.  If we are trusting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior then we need to look forward to that great day when we will enter into our Home in Heaven and see the face of Jesus Christ, the One who died on the Cross for our sins and gives us eternal life with Him forever.

This world is crying out in despair and acting out in violence.  People need a Savior.  There is only one Savior.  No world leader will ever meet your need.  No world leader can save you from your sins.  No world leader can make a way for you into Heaven.  There is only one way to obtain Salvation.  There is only one way to have your sins completely forgiven and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. 

We have all sinned and have fallen short of the Glory of God.  We must come to the Lord in repentance of our sins and trust in what Jesus did for us on the Cross.  Jesus died on the Cross for our sins.  He is the only One who can forgive our sins and He is the only way into Heaven.  The is no other way. 

This is why it is so urgent for us to get the Gospel message of Jesus Christ out to people throughout our world.  People need Jesus.  Jesus Saves.  He still saves.  He is the only One that truly saves.

Let us shine His light in this world and proclaim the Gospel message with the love of Jesus Christ.  Our world needs to hear the Good News.

Lord,
Shine Your light through us in this dark world.
Help us to tell others about Jesus Christ.
Use us to spread the truth and hope that we have in You.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
