The Jesus Bible Reading Plan / PERSONAL SAVIOR

The Jesus Bible Reading Plan

Day 346 of 365 PERSONAL SAVIOR Jesus is a personal Savior. He came to save the world, and he does that by saving people individually as they trust in him. Jesus is not a distant cosmic deity, unaware of what is happening in his world. Instead, Jesus is intensely and personally aware of and concerned about every detail of our lives. Paul was on trial in front of the Jewish religious leadership of his day. A near-riot broke out, and Paul suffered because of it. These leaders wanted to kill Paul because of the message he shared. In the midst of this hardship, Jesus showed up personally to care for his apostle. Our living Savior physically appeared to Paul and gave him his next assignment. As he wrote in his letter to the Romans (Ro 8:38 - 39), nothing could keep Paul from Jesus. Paul was in a difficult circumstance, but Jesus was aware of it and chose to interact with him personally. While such interactions are not common, they are real. Jesus' awareness and concern for individuals continues today. He is the great God of the universe who has come near to love people individually. Jesus, thank you for calling me by name. Thank you for knowing me personally and for allowing me to know you. I love you. Amen. Acts 23:11 NASB 11 But on the night immediately following, the Lord stood at his side and said, "Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also." Romans 8:38-39 NASB 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
