Jesus saves

But when the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help, the Lord raised up a rescuer to save them. ~ Judges 3: 9 (NLT)

Jesus Christ... is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world. All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen. ~ Revelation 1:5-6 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Jesus saves.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, thank you for sending Jesus into the world to save us from all that is evil and deadly. I embrace him as my Savior. That, however, does not stop me from trying to fix all my problems on my own. It is such an ingrained response. Help me to set all that aside so that I can live consistently in the community of the delivered. I am going to be free from the self-help burden and more fully trust in my Savior. Amen.
