Some times when I get a case of “writer’s block,” I will write down a word and try to make an acrostic of it. This time I wrote the name of Jesus, and what follows is the acrostic that I came up with to describe Jesus, our Savior.
J- Justification – It is through Jesus we can be saved and justified in spite of the fact that we are sinners. Here is what Paul wrote about justification in Romans 3:23-24: “For all have sinned and short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by His grace thorough the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” In spite of the fact that we are sinners, we can be justified before God almighty through faith in Jesus Christ. It is a matter of confessing your sins and asking Jesus to come into your life and save you. This justification is available to all people – even you! E- Eternal life – Eternal life in heaven is made possible through Jesus Christ. I want to quote from Paul’s Roman letter, chapter 6:22-23: “But now being made free from sin, and become servants of God, you have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” The mortality rate on earth is 100%. We will all die, but by faith in Jesus Christ we can have eternal life in heaven when we invite Him into our lives. This eternal life is available to all people – even you! S - Soul Satisfaction – It is true that soul satisfaction is given us through faith in Jesus Christ. What was written in Psalm 107:8-9 is true about Jesus: “On that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men. 9. For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry with goodness.” This is what Jesus does for those who put their faith in Him. Eternal life is available for all – even you. U - Understanding – There are a lot of things that we will never understand. It is difficult sometimes to understand the ways of the Lord. But Jesus gives us understanding of the greatest truth. I will let 1 John 5:20 explain what I mean. Read it carefully: “And we know that the Son of God is come, and has given us understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” This understanding is available for all – even you! S - Surety – Perhaps you are unsure about what is written above. I want to share Hebrews 7:22 and 25 – 22. “By so much more was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 25. Wherefore He (Jesus) is able to save them to the uttermost who come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.” This assurance is available to all people – even you. Well, that ends my acrostic, but I hope that this does not end your interest in what I have written. Read it and share J-E-S-U-S with the world. Bro. Joe
