Today's Devotion:
"He SHALL SAVE His People"
Do you know which Bible character had
no parents?
Oshea, son of Nun (Num. 13:8)
_______SCRIPTURE____________
Matt. 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou
shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall
save his people from their sins.
KJV
_______THOUGHT______________
After Num. 13:8, in the little joke above,
Moses called Oshea, Jehoshua. (Num. 13:16)
Now Oshea means "he will save."
Jehoshua means Jehovah will save by him.
Now contrast that with the Greek JESUS,
which means by HIMSELF He "shall save
His people!"
A little grammar lesson may help here.
Contrasting the terms "shall" with "will."
Shall and will both indicate the future, but will
is common for general future actions and
intent, while shall is more formal, often signaling
obligation or command.
For instance...
Mom told her son to take out the garbage.
He said, "I will later."
She returned, "You SHALL take it out NOW!"
JESUS is also THE CHRIST; or, the ONLY
anointed One of God to save people from
the condemnation of sin!!
WILL you surrender to Him, or
SHALL you surrender to Him?
Remember: SHALL indicates NOW!
AND, it is a COMMAND...there is NO OTHER
way to be saved but through surrender to
Jesus as Lord!
The "people" whom Jesus SHALL save are
those who SURRENDER to Him!
Love ya!
