Jesus Christ – the Saviour
We ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the
world.
John 4:42
Jesus Christ – the Saviour
Everything will ultimately be determined with reference to Jesus Christ. He is the Saviour who
can free people from their guilt and bring them into a happy relationship with God.
But many people, while admitting their guilt before God, do not want to accept that the way to
heaven leads only through Jesus Christ. They see in Him a great teacher who preached high morals
or a kind benefactor who helped people. They believe that He died on the cross for His views.
However, there are two facts that throw more light on the Lord Jesus. They show that He is indeed
the Saviour of the world.
o His deity: Jesus Christ is God and man in one person. When He lived in Israel, He
performed many miracles that testified to His deity. He changed water into wine, healed the sick,
restored sight to the blind, and raised the dead to life. He thus confirmed His right and power
to forgive sins.
o His resurrection: Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day after His death on
the cross, never to die again. He showed Himself alive many times to His disciples and then
returned to heaven. As victor over death, He can give eternal life to all who believe in Him.
Through personal interaction with Jesus Christ, we can still come to the conviction today that He
is indeed the Saviour of the world – and also my and your Saviour!
