Israel has been saved by the Lord of everlasting salvation.
You won’t be shamed,
and you won’t be disgraced forever and always.
MATTHEW 1:21 (ABP)
Mary will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus ("GOD saves"), because he will save his people from their sins.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus has come to save people from their sins.
DAILY FODDER
But what if people don't see sin as that big of a problem—especially their own sins? It's not something from which they need to be saved. How do you respond to such people?
PRAYER
Merciful God, I'm forever grateful that you sent Jesus into the world. I am trusting that what he did through his sinless life, his sacrifical death, and his victorious resurrection, saves me the consequenes of my sin, as well as the death grip that sin has on us sinners. This is the great news that transcends death and goes on forever. So powerful! Amen!
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
