SAVIOR

JUDGES 3:9 (ABP)
When the people of Israel needed help they called on GOD, who then sent someone to rescue them.

LUKE 1:68 (ABP)
Give honor and praise to Israel's God! The Lord has come to save his people.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is God's rescue team sent into the world to save all his people.

DAILY FODDER
Why are people so reluctant to admit that they need a savior? And even after they admit it formally they still live as though they're pulling it off on their own. Why is that?

PRAYER
Lord, in ages past you listened to the cries of your people and sent them a rescuer. Because of your great love you also sent your Son to redeem your children. I am thankful, Lord, that you give life and salvation through the power of the cross. Praise be to you, O God, for your gift of grace. Alleluia! Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
