Everyone Needs a Savior

Christmas, the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, is quickly approaching. As we prepare for a merry celebration of his birth, let us not forget that he came to us as a Savior, destined to suffer agony and death for you and for me. Jesus is the “lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). God did not send us his only begotten son out of pity for mankind. He was sent because only God’s son was a sufficient sacrifice to take away the sin that dwells in all of us. “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Everyone needs a savior. I hope you enjoy this reblog from December 21, 2017.

Almighty God, as we begin this season of Advent,

we thank you for your grace and mercy in sending your son Jesus

to be our Savior and Lord.

We confess that we have not always lived in the light of His coming,

and we have often wandered from your ways.

Forgive us, we pray, and renew us by your Spirit,

that we may watch and pray for His glorious return,

and follow Him in holiness and love.

Grant us, O Lord, the wisdom to discern the signs of the times,

and the courage to proclaim the good news of His kingdom

to a world in need of hope.

In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
