Jesus Christ, the Son of God. –...Rock of Salvation<br /><br />Jesus Christ, the Son of God. – Mark 1:1<br /><br />Mark does not intend that there shall be room for mistake concerning the person of our Lord. Each of the <br />names he here uses represents one particular phase of his character.<br /><br />Jesus means Saviour. “Thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” None of his <br />names can be sweeter than this. It is enshrined in every Christian heart. This is the name that brings hope into our <br />souls. The first thing we all need is to be saved, and he is the only Saviour.<br /><br />Christ means the Anointed One. He is the one whom the Father has anointed to be prophet, priest, and king. He is <br />our prophet, our teacher; he is our priest inter ceding for us, having already made himself an offering for our sins; he <br />is our king, and we ought to obey him.<br /><br />Son of God tells of his divine nature and his eternal sonship. This is the name that gives security to all our hopes and <br />trusts. If he were only a man, he might be very tender, loving, and kind, but could he do for us everything we need? <br />Could a man make atonement for our sins? Could a man put his own life into our dead souls? Could a man fight our <br />battles for us, and rescue us out of the hands of Satan? Could a man be with us in all the ways of toil, sorrow, need, <br />and struggle? Could a man save us in death and bear us through the dark mystery to glory? Could a man stand for us <br />in the judgment? The divinity of Christ is the rock of our hope and our salvation. Our Saviour and anointed King is the <br />Son of God. We can lean upon his breast and know that we are folded about with divinity, that our refuge is the eternal <br />God, and that the arms which are clasped about us are everlasting. In all danger we may rest secure, for the power that <br />would pluck us out of our resting place must be mightier than God’s.GG2013https://www.blogger.com/profile/01180358618816519694noreply@blogger.com
