“Yes,
Lord, I believe that You are the Christ,the Son of God” John 11:27 NKJV
The Old Testament promised a Savior who
would be God’s anointed, the Christ of God. The New Testament reveals the
Savior, God’s anointed, the Christ of God. His name is Jesus and as Paul said
of him, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” (Col. 2:9)
Christians don’t place their faith in or worship a man; we worship God in the
flesh. We don’t follow a great teacher or a great idealist or a great healer or
a great social champion; we follow God in the flesh.
From the time of the Apostles onward men
have denied that Jesus was really God. That denial is nothing new. Our
declaration of hope and eternal life is that He is really God. As Acts 20:28
says, it was the blood of God that purchased our salvation. God incarnate, the
second person of the eternal Trinity, died for our sins. We are washed with
divine blood. Because He is eternal He can offer eternal life to all who
believe in Him as Jesus Christ our Lord who is the Son of God.
Almighty
God, Thank You for giving us Your divine Son as our only possible Savior. Amen.
