I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place." (Isaiah 43:1-3)
As we approach the day of our Christian celebration: Celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; it is good for us to take a look back, and reflect on the events that brought our Lord Jesus Christ to this day of celebration. How far back we choose to go is up to us.
The Gospels proclaim concerning a journey of passion, suffering, death, and now celebration. One thing is clear, as the prophet Isaiah brings out in our text; what he says concerning the nation of Israel, can be said about us today. And what he prophesies concerning our Lord Jesus Christ, is for us today.
Like Israel, we do not need to fear, for the Lord has redeemed us.
He came to save the world from sin and death; and He has indeed did that for us. You can put your name there in claiming Jesus as your Savior.
My question is: Have you done that?
All that the Prophet said about Jesus to Israel, Is He that for you as well? If not, it's not too late. Have Jesus be your Savior today! GP
