Peter in the name of Jesus brought healing to a lame man. As he was talking the rulers he said,"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." In this pluralist world with its many religions we must hold on to the fact that only Jesus can save. We offer Him to the world's people for if they will believe in Him, they too will be saved. We dare not water down the gospel and present it as just one of many alternatives. Jesus is the only name by which we must be saved. He calls to you, will you hear Him?
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
