I am learning that Jesus the Savior is ever growing, ever changing, ever different, in every situation and circumstance. Jesus the Savior is constant in some ways, for example, as the Lamb slain for my sins. But in many, many ways, He is different in form and function.
As Ross Parsley sings in the song, "Savior," He is Redeemer, Restorer, Defender, Healer, Rebuilder, Refuge. Just to name a few. And He is much more.
See, Jesus is organic. He is planted in our life and grows to be more and more as we allow Him to be manifested in our life in different ways. As our needs change, our organic Savior touches our life in different ways. So cool. In a sense, we never know who Jesus is at a particular moment in our journey. We call it faith. We believe Jesus Savior will be just what we need Him to be without us directing it. Faith. That's it. Faith. Organic. Savior.

Dear Brother,
ReplyDeleteIt is not Christ who is organic and changing, it is us as believers. Christ is unchangeable in His essence. His nature and being are infinite and subject to no mutations. All that He is today, He has ever been, and ever will be: "I am the LORD, I change not" (Malachi 3:6).
Brother, as we grow in grace, we become more and more like Christ, until we are glorified and join Him in heaven. If we assert Jesus is changeable, we reduce the Creator to the level of creature -- something I know you do not intend to do!!
God Bless you Pastor!
