My Jesus, my savior

ok.....i tot before i go to bed....to pen some haphazard thoughts on the fact that Jesus is our Savior.

Why am i thinking about this lately?.....Coz of JFN, session 3....yup in Luke 2:11, besides being the Christ, Jesus is said to be the Savior....yes and today in the town of David, a Savior is born.

Now, before this verse, u should read what comes before.....(from memory)....for already there are lots of themes about salvation....really cool....from Zechariah's and Mary's songs i think.

Then....we read Luke 2:11....bang....powerman...Jesus IS THE SAVIOR!!!! He is the ONE!

But save us from what?...some hints in the songs...and of course is best to read on to find out more. (have a look at the chapter on the lord's supper....hm...reminds me of an essay i wrote on something like 'the atonement in the gospel of Luke').

Btw, Jesus' name itself means God saves. In Greek save means sozo. and 'God saves' in the Hebrew is the name - Joshua.

And some songs come to my mind....'He's my Savior' - by Jaci Velasquez, 'Love song for a savior' by jars of clay.

Anyway, as i lay my head on the pillow, I'm thankful that Jesus is my Savior (and my Lord)...for saving me from sin, death, the devil, darkness...... thank u Jesus, thank you.

ps: of course there is 'Shout to the Lord'...which begins...my jesus, my savior....Lord there is not like you..... (hence the title of this blog lah)
