The Savior You’re Missing



“I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever!” Revelation 1:18

If your faith ends at the cross it misses the full blessings of Christ!

You’re missing a Savior who, not only went to death two thousand years ago to redeem you, but one who also is alive to walk by your side in loving companionship.

You’re missing a Savior who can hear your prayers, who you can repent to when you have sinned, and who you can call to for help when the battle is going against you.

You need a Savior who is interested in all the affairs of your common life, and who can assist you in every time of need.

You’re missing a Savior who can be a real friend — loving you, keeping close beside you, able to sympathize with your weaknesses.

You’re missing a Savior who will come into your life, and will save you, not by one great act of centuries past — but by a life warm with love today, and living again in you.

A dying Christ alone will not satisfy our heart. We must have the living Christ and that is the Christ the gospel brings to us: one who was dead and is now alive for ever and ever!

“My soul thirsts for God, for the living God!” cried the psalmist, and cries every redeemed soul. It’s only as we realize the truth of a living Christ that our hearts are satisfied.

We crave love, a hand to touch ours, a heart whose beatings we can feel, a personal friendship that will come into our life with its sympathy, its inspiration, its companionship, its shelter, its life, its comfort. All this, the living Christ is to us.
