READ: Romans 10:13-15
“And SAVIOURS SHALL COME UP on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” – Obadiah 1:21
Obadiah gives a great prophecy of the coming of saviours. Who are these saviours? I thought Jesus Christ was the Saviour? Indeed, Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world! We all love the scripture that tells us that a saviour was born to us in the city of David. For unto you is born this day in the city of David A SAVIOUR, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11
Even though Jesus is the Saviour of the world, there is something we are supposed to do to save people. In a sense, that makes us also saviours of men. What are we supposed to do to save men? We are supposed to preach the gospel and share the love of Jesus everywhere. Jesus Christ died on the cross two thousand years ago but many people do not know what happened on the cross. Jesus Christ exerted great effort and paid a high price so that men could be saved. It is interesting though, that people cannot be saved without us preaching about Jesus. How can they know about Jesus if they have not ever been told? How can they hear if no one has ever been sent to them?
The death of Jesus Christ was an unfortunate event where an innocent man was lumped together with criminals and executed unjustly. Unjust executions have been occurring for centuries. The wickedness, the betrayal, the cruelty and the religious madness that was exhibited at the cross were nothing so unusual in the history of mankind. It should have been forgotten within a few months of the event. Jesus knew that His death on the cross was nothing unusual in the lives of wicked men. It was nothing to write home about. Wicked men are always wicked!
It was important that the rest of the world would know of the story of Jesus Christ. Why is that? Because as many as believe that Jesus is the Son of God shall be saved!
