Jesus Save!
Yesterday (Sunday 19th December) was our Messy Church Nativity, The Impossible Promise (https://youtu.be/XbcI6_rwR-c). What a great reminder of the Christmas story. And what a great display of nativity character outfits!
While we sang many familiar carols at the service, we did sing a less familiar children's song. Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves! is a children's song written by Colin Buchanan. It goes to the tune of Jingles Bells and sings of the wonder of Christmas and Jesus.
Here's the chorus:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Jesus is the Way
Jesus is the Saviour
You can come to Him today - Hey!
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
People from their sin
You will find forgiveness
When you put your trust in Him
It's a song that sings about the reason for Christmas and for Jesus. The world is not as it should be! We know ourselves, as we look around the world, as we watch the news, as we hear of the latest tragedy; this is not how it should be. The reason? The world is not as it should be, it's not as God intended it to be (just read Genesis 1-3), all because of sin. Sin is to turn our back on God. It is to live our lives as king, ignoring the One who created us. Sin has messed the whole world up, and for us the consequence of sin is death.
But this is the great news, the amazing news, the most wonderful news of Christmas. Jesus, the Son of God, left the glory of heaven, to become like us, yet without sin, in order to save people from their sin. Jesus was born at that very first Christmas to die. 33 years or so later, Jesus would be crucified. On the cross, He would die for our sin, so that all who believe and trust in Jesus, would find forgiveness of sin. And because Jesus rose from the dead, in Him, we have new life. At Christmas, the Saviour was born!
Hebrews 2:14-15, ‘Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil – 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.’
This Christmas, be filled with joy once again, at the salvation we have in Jesus our Saviour. And go and share that good news with all.
