JESUS: HE CLEANSES ALL OUR DARKNESS
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Jesus
a) No doubt Pilate wrote the name "Jesus" over the head of our Lord on the cross, simply because that was his name. This name, however, was given by God at Jesus's birth because it has a special meaning. Jesus is our Savior (Matthew 1:21).
2. He Cleanses All Our Darkness
a) We call Jesus our Savior because he sanctifies us. Our "sanctification" or "holiness" means being made holy and clean when we were unholy and unclean in God's sight. But there is only one thing that can cleanse us: "The blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). This statement is made in this context: "God is light and in him there is no darkness at all" (1 John 1:5). If there is any darkness in us, we cannot have fellowship with God. Jesus "sanctifies" us and purges all our darkness away so that we are only light. We are "sanctified" or "made holy".
The End ...
