FOCUS ON THE S.A.V.I.O.R: DAY 5 – ONE AND ONLY



As we continue to focus on the Savior during this sacred week, today we will move to the letter “O” in the name Savior. The attribute that we will look at is the [undisputable] fact that Jesus is the one and only. 1 Corinthians 8:6 reads yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live”.

Many have tried to suggest that there are others who are equal in deity and power, but it is NOT so! Be not deceived, no mere human, no god, no inner being – NO ONE can take the place of Who He is, What He did, and What He continues to do! He is the one and only one that was an acceptable sacrifice to cover the multitude of sins both in the past, those in the present and those to come. There are no substitutes for a Savior that gave His life for us so that we could live in Him. He made a way for us that no other could have done. He is the one and only way for us to have an abundant life here on earth and an eternal life beyond the grave. Today, take time to meditate on the ultimate sacrifice that He made for you. Let the reality of Who He is seep into your heart and cause you to respond to His overwhelming love. Be encouraged today.
