Jesus means ‘the Lord saves.” The angel who explained his name clarifies what the Lord saves us from. “Give him the name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” If we have no sin from which to repent, we have nothing from which we are saved! Whoever claims Christ without first recognizing the need for salvation is claiming the power in friendship of God without realizing the justice and holiness of God. We cannot be in a relationship with God without accepting his whole being. The First Sermon of Jesus dives deep into the necessity of repentance for the faithful Christian life. Without repentance, we cannot know the fullness of God in us. Join with Pastor Ben as he seeks out how to live as Christ Repent!
