It's amazing what a difference two little words can make. For example, "I do," "You're fired," "You're expecting."
There are two little words in the Christmas story that can make the difference in where you spend eternity. I'll leave those words out first. "Today a Savior has been born, He is Christ and Lord" (Luke 2:11). Now listen to it with the two life-changing words, "A Savior has been born to you."
Suddenly the coming of Christ is an intensely personal event. This Savior is for you. "Savior" - that's a rescuer - someone who risks his life to save someone who's about to die. And we were - spiritually.
The sin of your life carries a death penalty, which Jesus paid when He died on the cross. But only you can make Jesus a Savior "to you." It happens when you, in your heart, stand at the foot of His cross and say the two words that change everything, "For me. You're dying for me, Jesus. I'm taking You, for me."
If you want this relationship, someone's waiting to talk with you at needhim.org. A Savior has been born to you.
