Our main focus during Lent will be the Cross and the empty tomb, but we would be wise to also remember the begining of the story. Matthew records it like this:

"Mary 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

In the Amplied version it puts it like this: "She will give birth to a Son, and you shall name Him Jesus (The Lord is salvation), for He will save His people from their sins.”

No matter what translation you read it in, it still points to the marvellous gift that Jesus is our Salvation. This Saving Grace comes to us through the pain and suffering of a Roman cross, but it opens up the pathway to our Redemption.

In what way has Jesus become your Salvation?
