SALVATION

In the Old Testament, the book of Isaiah gives a description of Jesus as He was to come into the world. “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised and we esteemed Him not.” (Isa. 53:3)

Isn’t it strange that those whom God had revealed Himself to in so many ways and for so long would not recognize Him when He came into the world, and then would even go so far as to crucify Him! Yet this is what men did to Him two thousand years ago and what many are doing to Him today. He bore the sins of all of us when He died upon the cross. Philip the evangelist explains this scripture and teaches the eunuch of Ethiopia in Acts 8:26-39 . Will you not turn to this scripture, read it, and then do what the eunuch did that you might be saved? He believed, repented and was baptized for the remission of his sins (Acts 8:37, 38; 2:38). God has loved us so much that He sent His own Son into the world to die for us, although knowing that He would be rejected and crucified. It was the only way our sins could be atoned for. He loves us so much, and He does not want to see any of us die without Him. Won’t you come to Him today and live for Him?
