“…an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21-22 ESV)
Christ lived a perfect, sinless life and died a horrific, sinners’ death, in order to ‘save his people from their sins’. He paid the penalty we deserved to pay for our sin. He bore the wrath of we deserved to bear. He overcomes the separation that our sin caused between God and us. And he freed us from the bondage caused by sin. Because Christ’s work on our behalf, God can ‘deliver us from the domain of darkness’ and transfer us ‘to the kingdom of his beloved Son’ (Colossians 1:13).
What a great salvation!
