Have you ever seen a drowning man? Or maybe you sink? When someone is drowning, and "savior" comes, what should the rescuer have ?
- First, surely he must be able to swim.
- Second, surely he must be willing to sacrifice himself to save the sinking
- Third, surely he must know how about getting the sinking out of the water, back to the mainland.
People who rescue drowning people can describe Jesus that saves us from sin. The savior had no sin (can swim), willing to sacrifice (sacrifice), and the Savior who would surely get us from sin and restore us to the right path (rescue from the water)!
If the above conditions read, at a glance it seems to be taking things easy. But, really HARD all if considered carefully.
The first requirement, we have not sinned. Do we have no sin? NO, we are SINNERS! Although the first day we did not do anything that we think is sinful, we are still affected by the "curse" of sin! We will still be a sinner now and forevermore! The only human (at least who EVER been a human) is pure from sin is Jesus, the Son of God. So, we can be sure that Jesus PASS in the "First Term Test" ...
The second condition, we must be willing to sacrifice for others. Sacrifice. It seems simple enough! We just live let our food be given to people with disabilities, and ... FINISHED! Eiitss! That's not what I mean. The purpose of "sacrifice" in the sentence is willing to give our lives to those who have sinned. WHAT?! Giving life?! Yeah, give life. In fact, if we unfortunately hurt by knife, the pain just like no mercy, but Jesus, through his pain due to hand's hole. Hiiiy! If me, i definitely do not want to get the pain. And, I'm sure you would not want too crucified! Once again, Jesus passed the "Second Term Test"!
The third requirement, we must be willing to dispense others from sin and return to the right path of life. Hmm ... Come to think of it, it seems we can do this ... The Lord Jesus can do it, he was next to cross to forgive criminals and bring them to life on the right path, in Heaven there (oddly, this story exists only in the Gospel of Mark. Matthew and Luke even mentioned that the two robbers were denounced Jesus). Meaning, the "Third Term Test" and the Lord Jesus we can do it, so we get 1 point!
Well, now is the time to determine the winner ... and the winner is the Lord Jesus, with 3 points, and the second is human (us) with 1 point!
Well, now, you already understand, do not you, why should Jesus Be Savior? Of course, it's because Jesus met all the requirements to become a Savior!
