Jesus, My Saviour.

 Jesus, My Saviour

A Reflection on Matthew 1:21 and Titus 2:13-14

Jesus, my Saviour—the name that means You save,

Not from earthly troubles, but from the grip of the grave.

You came to seek and to save the lost,

To pay the debt I could not pay, whatever the cost.

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)

Saviour—not a title, but a mission fulfilled,

A promise spoken, a covenant sealed.

You did not come to condemn the world, but to rescue,

To lift the fallen, to heal, to freshen.

From the law's curse, You set me free,

From the power of sin, from enmity.

From the fear of death, from the accuser's blast,

From the empty future, from the hopeless past.

He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good. (Titus 2:14)

Jesus, my Saviour—not just a creed I hold,

But a living, breathing reality, more precious than gold.

When I was drowning, You reached out Your hand.

When I was wandering, You helped me stand.

So I will trust You with my today, my tomorrow,

My joy, my sorrow, my all that I borrow.

For You are not only the Saviour of the world,

But Jesus, my Saviour—my banner unfurled.

Amen.
