Meditate On
Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For
there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the
Lord.”
Luke 2:10–11
Born To
Save You
Meditate on the first words of heaven to man at the
beginning of the New Testament: Don’t be afraid.
What encouraging, hope-giving and empowering words of
grace! And what were these precious words a prelude to? The proclamation that
Jesus would come to be our Savior.
My friend, whatever you are facing today, hear heaven’s
encouragement to you—“Do not be afraid.” Do not be fearful. Do not be
discouraged. Why? Because Jesus is your Savior.
He came to be your Savior. He didn’t come to be your
judge to condemn and punish you. He didn’t come as a lawgiver to give you more
laws to fulfill. No, He came to be your SAVIOR. That’s what Jesus is and wants
to be to you.
So what does a savior do? If you’re drowning, will a
savior condemn you for having fallen into the water and laugh at you for not
knowing how to swim? Will a savior throw you an instruction book on how to
swim? Of course not! He will jump right in to save you, no questions asked!
Beloved, when it comes to saving you from whatever puts
fear in your heart, Jesus is the best there is in the entire universe. He
didn’t come just to save you from hell just so you can enter heaven when you
pass from this earth. No, He wants to save you every day from anything and
everything that you need saving from! See His mighty hand reaching out to you,
powered by a heart that has no condemnation, but only love for you!
