Romans 11:26-27
The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob; and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins. 

As we have seen in our focus on the names of God, Jesus is portrayed in many ways. Sometimes the names are personal, characterizing the intimate relationship that Jesus has with those who follow him. Sometimes the names express Christ’s work with a group of people. In today’s passage, Paul quotes from Isaiah 59:20-21 which describes Jesus’ second coming. 

Before Jesus comes again, the world will experience chaos like never before. The Bible describes this time as the great tribulation, and this will be the beginning of the end. Those living in that terrible time will need a Deliverer. Jesus will come to rapture believers from the tribulation and then come again at the end of it for a final deliverance for all who trust in him. 

There are those who like to debate the timeline of the end days. For sure, this is an important discussion and study. But regardless of your eschatology, we can all agree that Jesus will come again to deliver us for eternity. On that day, every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that he is Lord. Here are the most important questions in this discussion: Do you know Jesus as your personal Savior? When he returns, will you know him as your Deliverer? 

Lord Jesus,
Thank you for coming to die for me. Thank you for bearing my sins in your body on the cross. Thank you for delivering me from my sins and placing me into an eternal relationship with the heavenly Father. Thank you for being my Deliverer.
In your name, I pray. Amen.
