Christ Came To Show The Way

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

 

Luke 1:77-79

 

As we studied previously regarding the door which God has left open to all; today, we examine scriptures from the gospel of Luke which speak to the love and desire of God concerning His creation… We all know that Jesus declared that He came to this earth so that you might have life and have it more abundantly; however, there is another message that Jesus brought to this earth which is outlined in today’s focus verse… He came not only to give life but to give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins… The mission of Jesus and the message of Jesus go hand and hand as we can come to the conclusion that in order to have life and have it abundantly, one must first know that there is a way to overcome the mistakes of yesterday to obtain the joys of tomorrow… Not everyone knows that it is not too late to overcome and be what you have been designed to be; there are some of us who continue to sink deeper into our sin not knowing that there is a safety net that can reach the darkest and gloomiest of situations and pull you out… This is the knowledge that Jesus came to impart to all mankind, this is the task at hand that we as Christians carry, we must bring the message that if a person will turn from their path of sin, then there is surely light at the end of the tunnel… Remember that in the beginning, God formed us from the dust of the ground; however, it was not until He breathed the breath of life into our nostrils that we became living beings… This bit of information speaks to the life that we receive only through the authority of God… Today, Luke records the reasons why Jesus came to this earth… “To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of God; whereby the dayspring from on high and hath visited us…” Luke was called to give knowledge that we are nothing without the one to come. He was to declare that we will see the break of day, the hope and joys of tomorrow, and the promises of eternal security when the one from on high hath visited us… 

 

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
