We see these signs all the time; “Jesus Saves”
But Saves What?!?
Is Jesus saving money at Costco? Helping to save the planet?
Only buying things on sale? So what exactly is he 'saving?'
Admittedly, at face value, this terse message without any context
makes no sense whatsoever. In fact for most people it would appear silly and
perhaps even laughable and easily passed off as forgettable and nonsensical.
If that’s how you feel about it, I totally get.
Without any context whatsoever it doesn’t make any sense.
However, this is where Satan’s word to Eve in the Garden of Eden becomes
vitally important.
You see, if you’re like a lot of people, death and dying are not on your
mind, and I’d be willing to say that for today
that’s 100% true.
In that sense, many reading this are no different than
a study made in a class of kindergarteners who were
asked if they were going to die...
and none of them raised their hands!
The first lie in history was that “Ye shall not surely die”
when in fact that IS a LIE. Your mortal body WILL die —
and this is where the JESUS SAVES part comes in.
The Bible says that Christ came to give people eternal life and to
save all that believe in their heart and confess boldly that
He is LORD and GOD. For all those that believe this simple
message of JESUS SAVES will be the only ones that
will not “Surely Die.”
Jesus — The Christ, The Redeemer and Saviour of the World —
came to save YOU from the certain mortal death that you CAN NOW see coming,
but more importantly from a fate that you MAY NOT see coming,
and that is the second death of your soul for eternity.
Friend, JESUS SAVES is the most important sign you will see today.
How you respond to this sign is entirely up to you.
