She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. — Matthew 1:21
Our condition and our solution are both wrapped up in the name of Jesus. Jesus didn’t come down to earth hoping to find righteous people. He didn’t have any illusions of finding suitable folks to fellowship with. He knew what He would find.
Yet, He came. He came in the full power and anointing of God, knowing that His life and death and life again carried the eternal solution to everything that has ever been wrong with us.
We want to clean up, but we can’t. That is the secret. Jesus came to make us holy — not to teach us how, but to do it Himself — give us the touch that transforms us.
Be encouraged!
