Welcome to Hank’s Place —
When we were visiting good friends on Cape Cod a few months ago, we went to their church which is part of the CMA denomination, founded by AB Simpson. Simpson wrote of the 4-Fold Gospel: Christ our Savior, Christ our Sanctifier, Christ our Healer and Christ our Soon Coming King. That’s good stuff!
The church bulletin contained two profound points about Christ our Savior. First, He is a universal Savior – “Whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. Jesus will save anyone, EVERYONE, who comes to Him!
And second, He is an exclusive Savior – “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name in heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12. Jesus: God’s Son, our Savior. The ONLY Savior.
Jesus offers salvation – freely to all – at great personal cost, to ANYONE who will believe He is God’s Son, sent to save us from ourselves, our sins, and the eternal damnation justly due us.
My friend, this year, tell others of Jesus the universal Savior.
Jesus is God’s exclusive solution to mankind’s need for salvation. Not Buddha, not Allah, not Communism, atheism, good works, bad works – nothing else works. There is nothing else and no one that ‘works’ — only our Jesus!
My friend, this year, tell others of Jesus, God’s the exclusive Savior. Encourage them to believe TODAY, for today is the day of salvation. 2 Cor 6:2.
If a person dares to believe, then by grace God will save him and make him NEW.
This believing is not mere head knowledge, or head confessions, but heart stuff. Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit – something that must be experienced!
It’s something like MUSIC. You may know the notes, keys, scales, sharps and flats, arpeggios and much more. BUT — until you have experienced music you do not truly know what music is!!! That knowing will proceed to even deeper levels over time in music.
This year, endeavor to know Jesus deeper still – and COME ALIVE!
