“…we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.” 1Tim.4.10 ESV
If you believe in Christ you know firsthand that He is your blessed Savior and Lord. But Jesus is a savior to everyone even if they are unaware of it. Did the world wake this day to the rising sun? All have done so because of Christ. People around the world will eat, enjoy music, behold the beauty of the changing seasons and all because Christ secured these blessing by His death on the cross. Jesus holds all things together; every process in heaven and earth operates in, by and because of Him. Even the lungs that exchanged oxygen for carbon dioxide in the soldiers who crucified Him, did so only because He sustains that process as He does every other law in the universe. Christ is the savior of all but He is especially of those who believe in Him. How so? Well it is not only that every temporal experience is made to touch the eternal; though that would be different enough. No, there is also a profound appreciation for blessedness by those who know they have been sustained even rescued, that the “lucky” will never know. Do you feel fortunate or blessed? Is it chance or Christ telling you the story of your life?
Just me trying to be honest with God.
