1 John 4:14 - Jesus - The Savior of The World.

1 John 4:14 (NIV) And we have seen and 
testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the 
Savior of the world.  

1 John 4:14 (NLT) Furthermore, we have seen 
with our own eyes and now testify that the Father 
sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

We Have a Savior
   Rick Warren tells about a time he was 
sitting in a parking lot. His three-year-old 
daughter was in the backseat in her car seat. As they 
waited for his wife to come out of the store, his 
daughter grew restless. Anticipating a short wait, 
Rick didn't want to remove her from her car seat. 
The little girl hung her head out the window and 
yelled, "Please, God! Get me out of this!" 
   At some point in life, don't we all feel 
like Rick's daughter? We are stuck. Not stuck in 
a backseat, but stuck in a dying body, with 
bad habits, suffering the consequences of poor 
choices in a rebellious world. We need help. 
   So we shop till we drop, drink till we 
can't think, work till we can't stop. We take 
pills, take vacations, and take advice from 
therapists, bartenders, and big brothers. We buy new 
purses or Porsches. But we end up facing the same 
mess. 
   We need someone to save us from 
meaninglessness and meanness. Gods promise is this: we have 
a Savior, and his name is Jesus. [You Can 
Count On God by Max Lucado] 

ILLUSTRATION

   More than any one specific Bible verse, a 
wonderful old hymn was instrumental in leading me to 
Jesus Christ. I sat around a campfire at a 
Christian Endeavor youth camp in South Jersey when I 
was fifteen years old. I was at a tremendous 
crossroad in my life. Should I go left, continue to 
sin, and disappoint my precious mother? Or should 
I go right and get my heart in order? As the 
kids around me began to sing "Turn Your Eyes upon 
Jesus," something wonderful happened. The things of 
earth did "grow strangely dim in the light of his 
glory and grace." I saw his face in a white light. 
I accepted his wondrous love and have trusted 
in him to this day. 
   In whatever place you are in your life 
right now, I implore you to turn your eyes upon 
Jesus.

Oak Ridge Boys for more than thirty years and 
the author of several books"including G.I. Joe 
and Lillie, An American Journey, and An 
Inconvenient Christmas"lives in Tennessee with his wife 
and their eight cats. [The One Year Bible Live

CLOSING THOUGHT

Who is Jesus to You?
   I love history. And as I think back on 
history, I think of some great and prominent names 
who made a real difference in the world: 
Charlemagne, Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, Washington, and 
Lincoln. 
   Yet, among all of the great names in 
human history, were told that theres no 
other name whereby people can be saved except that 
of Jesus Christ. Out of all the great names, 
Jesus is the only one that saves. In fact, the 
very meaning of Jesus is The Lord 
saves. 
   Theres nothing wrong with admiring 
great men and women in the history of the world. 
But when Jesus Christ came into the world in the 
little town of Bethlehem, everything changed. God 
was moving so boldly on earth " in a way like 
never before " that He himself came into the 
world to bring salvation. 
   Jesus wasnt just a savior. He was the 
Savior. Not one among many, but one in Himself. 
Dont move away from this thought without being 
changed by that amazing truth. Jesus came to save 
you. Trust in Him. Make Him your personal 
Savior. 
   Trust In Jesus As Not Just A Great Person 
In History, But As The Savior Of The World!
