Jesus Christ, Our Rescuer
Galatians 1:3-5 (NASB) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.
The Apostle Paul’s greeting to the church at Galatia seems to reach out across the centuries to give comfort to all who follow Christ. Some time ago a young woman soldier was rescued from her captors. She was found with broken bones, beaten, and hungry. Christ finds us in a similar condition; broken, beat down, hungry and thirsty for a rescuer. Christ rescues us, feeds us, and heals us. He brings us alive spiritually, separates us from an evil world, and brings us peace. He feeds us with His Word and gives us comfort in the knowledge of eternal life; forgiven and saved. We have a rescuer that we can thank continually and forever!
