A continuous theme of the Bible is the deliverance of God. God delivered Noah and his family from the flood. God delivered Joseph from prison. God delivered Israel time and again. God delivered Joseph and Mary and their son, Jesus, from the hand of King Herod. God delivered Peter and John from prison. God delivered Paul from stoning, shipwreck, snake bite, imprisonment, etc.
God has delivered us. We have been set free from the greatest bondage humanity has ever known . . . sin.
None of us has found freedom from sin apart from Jesus Christ. He is our hope, our redeemer, our deliverer.
In this age of self-made Christians, who is Jesus? Your deliverer or ultimate role model? Your savior or your best friend? Your Lord or your companion?
Father, deliver us from all things that pull us from your Way.
