Special Delivery, Always On Time
"From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people." (Psalm 3:1 NIV)
During this pandemic, a common sight has been even more UPS and Amazon Prime drivers out on the road and going to people's homes than before - at least, apart from certain times of the year, like Christmas. With the Stay-At-Home Order continuing to remain in place, more people have been ordering items online, and having them delivered. Of course, what this has also meant is that so many people have been ordering items to be delivered that now certain companies are on at least a month's backorder and expected delivery date. This has made it a bit more of a challenge to order items online, and expect a timely delivery.
There is, however, one timely delivery - or, rather, deliverance - we can always depend on. Through His prophets, God had promised to send a Savior to save the world from sin and death. Then, he delivered on that promise by sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross to save everyone from sin and death. And then, Jesus further delivered on that promise to save by rising again, now living eternally. God does everything He promises - including doing everything necessary to save the world He made and the people He gave life to.
He also promises that everyone who believes in Him, and trusts in His death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life, has exactly what is promised - forgiveness of sins and eternal life. He promises that everyone who believes in Him will also be delivered, or rescued, from a life of anything that leads to sin and death. He promises that anyone who asks Him for help will be delivered from addiction, alcoholism, anything destructive. He also promises that anyone who trusts in Him will live forever after death. Jesus is God, therefore, as God has always done, He does everything He promises, delivering on those promises. Everything He promises is true - His promise of deliverance from sin and death, His promise of eternal life, and His promise of a new life right now.
Dear Jesus, thank you for delivering on the promise of salvation by dying and rising again for me, and for delivering me from sin and death. In your Name, Amen.
