John 4:39-42
You can find hundreds of names and titles for Jesus in the Bible. One was given by the angels: “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior” (Luke 2:11). The Greek word soter means “someone who can make safe, deliver from a threat and bring safe and sound out of a difficult situation.”
Whenever you need a savior, you need one badly—to save you from drowning, from a fire, from a medical emergency. Jesus does all that and more. When we were sinking deep in sin, He saved us. When we were in danger of hell, He saved us. When we were dying inwardly and eternally, He rescued us. It takes all the names in the Bible to describe Him. But aren’t you glad Savior is among them! Ponder His saving power today and rejoice!
I must have the Savior near me, for I dare not go alone. I must feel His presence near me, and His arms around me thrown.
Fanny Crosby
John 4:39-42
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of His word; 42 and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world."
Matt 1:21
21 …you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins
Luke 19:10
The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Lost in sin and death…saved by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who alone offers the free gift of salvation, forgiveness and everlasting life!
