Jesus Christ,Who was,is and always will be our Savior

None of us is perfect. All of us, without exception, have flaws in our thinking, our bodies, our habits of living and even our spiritual understanding. The only one who ever lived who was 100% perfect was Jesus Christ. Not only was He perfect when born, He lived His life without sin. This perfect man was completely entitled to live forever since he knew no sin and thus would know no death.

God did not force Jesus to endure the torture leading up to the cross. God did not tie Jesus' hands and put the whip in the hands of the guards who beat Him without mercy. Jesus willingly gave His perfect body as a sacrifice for the sin that placed upon every man and woman who entered this world the curse of death. Jesus was the only man who could be our Savior because He was the only man who was sinless.

God did not nail Jesus to the cross. God did not plant the crown of thorns upon Jesus' head. Jesus willingly shed His perfect blood upon the mercy seat of God as a sacrifice once, and forever for sin. Jesus was the only man who could be our Savior because He was the only man who had sinless blood running through His veins and arteries.


Please take a moment to look again at some verses from Romans chapter 5 that put what Jesus did in the right spiritual perspective. These 5 verses (Romans 5:8-21) are taken from King James.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

I pray we all take the time to meditate upon the glorious Gospel recorded here in Romans 5. Jesus Christ was, is and always will be our perfect Savior and every day of our lives we should give Him thanks and praise for what He willingly did for each and every one of us.

Blessings!!!
