Good Morning!Our name for Jesus for today: The Captain of Salvation
"For it was fitting for him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." Hebrews 2:10 NKJV
Captain of our Salvation. I love the image those words make me think of. Other Bible versions state "Author of their Salvation," which is just as wonderful to think about.
A Captain is someone who has been that way before. This is not his first time. He knows the way. He is well aware of what dangers lay ahead--both the visible ones and the hidden ones. A good Captain will give up his own life if need be, in order to save the people under him.
Jesus is the one who created salvation for us in the first place. And now He is offering to lead us to heaven so we can live there with Him. He has been this way before. He knows the way. He is well aware of what dangers lay ahead. And he has already given up His own life in order to save us.
Beautiful, wonderful Jesus.
