Jesus: Only Savior, Redeemer

"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5)

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:16-17)

"This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:11-12)

"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." (Ephesians 1:7)

A Prayer:

Thank You precious Lord, Faithful and True. You are the Great Shepherd and Overseer of our souls. Thank You for reconciling us to God, for sins forgiven and a new name written in heaven, for acceptance into the family of God, for a new and living way through Your blood. Thank You for Your love, grace and mercy. Let Your gospel be preached to the ends of the earth; bring Your lost and scattered sheep home to the fold. Let there be great rejoicing in Your house, cleansing, purging, filling of the Holy Ghost, fruits in abundance, bringing glory to Your name. You are the Lord God, Most High; Your kingdom is forever. 

"I will extol You, my God, O King; and I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable." (Psalm 145:1-3)

Amen.
