Ive been thinking about something. Jesus is my savior. But I fear that I use the word "savior" entirely too lightly? To really think about the meaning of that word. Ever time I utter that word it should carry a weight of glory so heavy as to break the back of all but the most humble. "Savior" is a burden too heavy to be carried by a proud man. When I speak that may my back be broken.

Savior-that is such a sweet word. If I confess a Savior that, by implication, means that I have need of saving. From Hell-yes thank you Jesus. Saved from sin-positionally so, but how does that transcend mere meat-physics and make its way into daily reality? Im in the proccess of being saved from my sin.

Saved from myself? Yes-thank you Jesus. Derek needed to be saved from himself. I like this when I use the word "savior." Jesus saves us from ourself and replaces us-with Him. "I have been crusified with Christ it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me." My carnal, fallen mind replaced with "the mind of Christ."

Savior-that is such a heavy word. I pray that I never use it lightly again.

I tell you something:

Jesus Christ has never been more real to me than He is right now. I feel like I am a man who was lying in bed and has just come to realize that he is now awake. And this is amazing  also:

But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives within me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20

I am still paddeling along the shore of the endless possibilities of grace. It is now time to launch out into the deep for a great catch. Truly "Everything is possible for him who believes." Mark 9:23  But we have the mind of Christ.
