The Saviour

Hebrews 2:16-18 For it is clear that he did not come to help angels. No, he came to help Abraham's descendants, 17 thereby becoming like his brothers in every way, so that he could be a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God and could atone for the people's sins. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. #Bible ISV

You've heard the saying "Don't tell me what to do until you have walked a mile in my shoes".
Well that's just the point, Jesus didn't just walk a mile, He lived a life in our skin!
Jesus lived a life just as we do, going through all the same issues and problems we face in this life. Jesus dealt with the same emotions, anger, and pain this life produces because of sin.
Satan who held the power of death, held humanity in slavery and fear of death until Jesus the Christ delivered us from that fear.
Jesus being God through His Love for is came and became one of us. He lived the life we aren't capable of living, never giving into the temptation of sin.
He lived the perfect righteous life.
Jesus as a human being could of just walked into Heaven with no accusation of sin. But Jesus took all of mankind's sin upon Himself and suffered death in our place. Freeing us to be able to enter Heaven with no accusation.
Jesus defeated satan and death when He died on the cross, and rose from the dead.
Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Throne of God Almighty where He helps us in every way possible.
Jesus is the Way to God the Father, He is the Word of God, the Truth, and He is and has given us the Life.
All we have to do is believe that Jesus is our Saviour, repent of our sins, and begin to live this Glorious life He provides, not living in fear of death any more.
