Jesus Came To Save Us :)

According to the dictionary, Save means “keep safe or rescue someone from harm or danger”.  Jesus, first and foremost, came to Save us.  Mankind had become so sinful and grown so far a way from God, that we didn’t even realize just how much danger we were in. 

Jesus may have done many things while He was here with us.  He showed us what real love looked like, He taught us right from wrong, He performed miracles…The list is endless.  But first and foremost, Jesus came to Save us.

Without Christ’s forgiveness, we would be the chaff.  With Christ’s Forgiveness we are the “believers”, and so we are the wheat ?. 

“His winnowing fork is in His hand to thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat (believers) into His barn (kingdom); but He will burn up the chaff (the unrepentant) with unquenchable fire.”-Luke 3:17

The time of the Harvest will come; we need to be ready.  Part of getting ready for that Harvest is putting our Trust in Jesus Christ.

In Mark 1:10, it says,  “But that you may know that they Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins.”

Notice that it doesn’t say believe, hope or think.  It says Know.  There is a difference between believing and knowing.  Jesus didn’t want us to “believe” or “hope” our sins were forgiven.  He wanted us to Know.  And He wanted us to be confident in that knowledge.

When the Harvest comes, and it will come, we can rest easy in Jesus knowing that our sins are completely forgiven.  For not only did Jesus come to forgive our sins, He came so we would Know that our sins are forgiven.  Jesus could have just ensured our forgiveness, but Jesus wanted us to Know that we are forgiven! Jesus did not want us to worry or fear while we waited for His return.  When Jesus comes for us, it will be with great love and joy, and hugs for all His of His believers ?
