To say that Jesus is our Saviour is certainly not a casual statement.
When we think about what Jesus went through to save us, it is unimaginable.
To begin with, Jesus is divine, He is God.
And yet, He became one like us in all things, except sin.
If we have pets, and no matter how much we love our pets, we wouldn’t think of becoming like them.
But in becoming one like us, Jesus became the bridge between God and mankind.
It can be said that God became man so that man can go back to God.
Jesus showed us how to go back to God by obeying, even in suffering, and even unto death upon the Cross.
And by sacrificing Himself on the Cross to save us, Jesus offered Himself as the divine sacrifice and became our High Priest.
When we understand what Jesus went through to save us, we will also realise our calling.
We too are called to offer our lives in union with Jesus for our salvation and for the salvation of the world.
Our salvation begins with our obedience.
Let us look at Jesus on the Cross and we will know what obedience is about.
