Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of January
Verses:
Matt. 1:21 “And she will bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins.”
Excerpts:
The first element included in the name of Jesus is Jehovah. The second is the Savior. Jesus is Jehovah-Savior, the One who saves us from all negative things: from our sins, from hell, from God’s judgment, and from eternal condemnation. If we hate our temper, He will save us from it. He saves us from the evil power of Satan, from all our besetting sins in our daily life, and from every bondage and addiction. Hallelujah, He is the Savior!
Jesus is not only the Savior; He Himself is also our salvation. Do not ask Him to give you salvation. Instead, you should say, “Lord Jesus, come to me and be my salvation.” Every day, every hour, and even every moment we have something from which we need to be saved. On the positive side, to grow in life is to enter into the riches of what Christ is. On the negative side, it is to be delivered from certain things, or to forsake certain things. Although we are small men, we have accumulated many negative things. Wherever we go, we collect things. We pick up a great many negative things, and we acquire a number of habits from which we need to be saved. To grow in life is simply to be saved from all unnecessary things, from all that is not needed for our living. If you have the light, the exposure of the fourth-day lights, you will say, “Lord, save me!” At such times we realize that Jesus is truly Jehovah as our Savior and our salvation. (Life-study of Matthew, msg. 6)
