"FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS." That is what "Jesus" means, for He only is the Saviour sent from God. He deserves the name for that was His sole purpose when He came to earth. For us He fulfilled the law, was made a curse, and atoned for our sins that He might save us. Now He lives and pleads in heaven for us. He can save any character. He will save all people who turn to Him in faith. He does save all who come to God by him. He has saved myriads, and He will save myriads more. He saves freely, by an act of grace. He saves fully, from all evil to all good. He saves eternally, and finally, placing his people beyond the possibility of perishing. He saves consistently, with all the perfections of God's nature. He saves without violating any of the principles of the divine government. He saves for His own glory, in obedience to His Father's will, out of pure love to His depraved people. My soul, call Him Jesus, for He has saved you. Tell all around that He is Jesus, and can save them as well. He is the only, the all-sufficient, the omnipotent Saviour. He saves though all hell opposes; He saves though some may be ungrateful; He saves though those He saves may doubt and distrust Him. He is now exalted at God's right hand, to continue His saving work as our Advocate and Intercessor.
For Meditation:
Trust in His name, and thou shalt know
The bliss of sins forgiven;
Saved from the curse of earth below,
Into thy house in heaven.
