In Matthew 1:20-21, the angel tells Joseph that Jesus will save His people from their sins. This powerful declaration encapsulates the mission of the coming Messiah, highlighting that Jesus meets us where we are, even in our struggles with sin. His purpose is not only to forgive us but also to free us from the grip of sin in our lives.
Jesus offers salvation from the penalty of sin, providing us grace and mercy, then empowers us to overcome the power of sin, transforming our hearts and minds. Ultimately, He will deliver us from the very presence of sin, leading us to eternal life and joy.
The phrase “His people” is particularly significant. It emphasizes that salvation through Jesus is available to all who choose to follow Him, not just a select group. This inclusivity reminds us that belonging to Jesus is what truly matters.
As we reflect on this promise, let us be encouraged that we are part of a loving community that Jesus came to save. We are not alone in our journey; through Him, we find hope, healing, and the strength to live victoriously in His grace. Embrace the truth that you are one of His people, cherished and redeemed!
