He Shall Save

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins."  Matthew 1:21.  The coming of Jesus Christ into the world was very unique.  First, He was born of a virgin.  Jesus was divine.  He came as God in the flesh.  While Mary was His earthly mother, God was His Father.  Second, Jesus came into the world to save sinners.  Humanity was in need of redemption and God supplied that need in the person of Jesus Christ. While upon the earth, Jesus established His divine nature by the works that He performed and the teachings that He taught.  Jesus secured eternal redemption for all humanity by His death upon the cross.  God loved us so much that He was willing to give His Son so that the penalty for sin could be satisfied in Jesus.  The death of Christ upon the cross shows without doubt that God is just, and thus, the debt for sin had to be paid.  Long ago, a prophecy was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ.  Great events have taken place in the course of humanity, but none greater than the coming of Jesus Christ.  A divine Son paid a divine debt.  Jesus came to save us.
