March 27 Devotion - Jesus Lord and Saviour

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يُرْسِلِ ابْنَهُ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِيَدِينَ الْعَالَمَ، بَلْ لِيَخْلُصَ الْعَالَمُ بِهِ،

John 3:17

Jesus came to earth to seek and save those who were spiritually lost and bound by sin. He came to save the lost from an eternal death.  

One of the attributes of Jesus is that He knows the hearts of men and understands what goes on in our spirits. He therefore knows our desires and motivations as well as our weaknesses. His knowledge is evidenced in Mark 2:6: And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, and in Luke 9:47: And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart,

Jesus knows what we need and He brings our needs to The Father:

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. ¹⁵ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶ Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

فَمَادَامَ لَنَا رَئِيسَ كَهَنَتِنَا الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي ارْتَفَعَ مُجْتَازاً السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَهُوَ يَسُوعُ ابْنُ اللهِ، فَلْنَتَمَسَّكْ دَائِماً بِالاعْتِرَافِ بِهِ.

 ¹⁵ ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ الَّذِي لَنَا، لَيْسَ عَاجِزاً عَنْ تَفَهُّمِ ضَعَفَاتِنَا، بَلْ إِنَّهُ قَدْ تَعَرَّضَ لِلتَّجَارِبِ الَّتِي نَتَعَرَّضُ نَحْنُ لَهَا، إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ بِلاَ خَطِيَّةٍ.

 ¹⁶ فَلْنَتَقَدَّمْ بِثِقَةٍ إِلَى عَرْشِ النِّعْمَةِ، لِنَنَالَ الرَّحْمَةَ وَنَجِدَ نِعْمَةً تُعِينُنَا عِنْدَ الْحَاجَةِ.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Thank You that You sent Jesus to save me. Thank You Jesus that you sympathize with my weaknesses and that You are my high priest to whom I take my needs, and through You Jesus I can come boldly to God’s throne of grace. Thank You God for Your mercy and grace. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 Jesus Loves you

In Him,
