Jesus Came to Save the Lost

Devotional

Jesus didn’t just come to seek the lost; He came to save them. His mission wasn’t about offering temporary relief but eternal salvation. Through His death on the cross and resurrection, He paid the ultimate price for our sins, rescuing us from eternal separation from God. Salvation is a gift, freely given to anyone who believes in Him. This mission required sacrifice—Jesus laid down His life so that we might be restored to the Father. His sacrifice is the heart of the rescue mission: love in action.

Scripture Reading

John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
