A Holy Nation!
"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
a holy nation, His own special people, that you may
proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous
light."
1 Peter 2: 9
Did you know there’s a country in the world named
for Jesus? The name of this nation is: THE SAVIOR.
In Spanish: El Salvador. Interestingly, recent reports
spiritual revival is bubbling up in this sometimes
violent country.
The real country where Jesus wants to reign as Savior
and Lord is your heart. The Lord
wants to make us into
His “holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9). Even Mary, the mother
of Jesus, needed Jesus to be her Savior.
The first words of her song of praise in Luke 1 say,
“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has
rejoiced in God my Savior” (Luke 1:46-47).
Have you allowed Jesus to become King of your
heart? One day every knee will bow, and every
tongueconfess He is Lord (Philippians
2:10-11).
How much better to install Him on the throne of your
heart now! If Mary herself needed Jesus, whom she
bore, to be her Savior, how much more do we!
"Although my memory’s fading, I remember
two things very clearly: I am a great sinner
and Christ is a great Savior."
John Newton
