Jesus - I AM Your Salvation

In this powerful exploration of Matthew 1:21, we delve into the profound meaning behind Jesus' name and His mission to save us from our sins. The Christmas story takes on new depth as we examine the sentence 'He will save his people from their sins.' We're challenged to consider what it truly means to be saved and why we need salvation in the first place. By looking at sin as anything that goes against God's will, we confront the reality of our own mistrust in God's goodness and wisdom. This message reminds us that we can't save ourselves - not through education, government, science, or technology. Only Jesus, who is both fully God and fully human, has the power to rescue us from the death that sin brings. As we reflect on this, we're invited to examine our own hearts and ask: Are we among 'His people'? Do we recognize our need for a Savior? This Christmas, let's move beyond seeing Jesus as just a baby in a manger and embrace Him as the mighty God who came to do for us what we could never do for ourselves.
