Names & Titles of our Lord  &  SAVIOR. 

 

A savior is a person who saves, rescues, or delivers someone or something from danger or harm. In Christianity, the Savior is a title of God, especially of Jesus, who brings salvation from sin and hell. 

 

A savior is someone who saves us out of trouble when we are helpless to help ourselves. If we are drowning and unable to swim, a savior is someone who lifts us up and saves our lives. 

 

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior that saves completely – He lifts us up from spiritual death and places our feet on solid ground. He may save us, as well, from mortal danger in a physical sense when he heals us of drugs, alcohol or other afflictions. 

 

He saved Peter from drowning in the Sea of Galilee when Peter exclaimed the shortest and most effective of prayers: LORD SAVE ME! 

 

^{Matthew 14:28-3028} And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

²⁹ And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

³⁰ But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

 

We learn a lot about prayer from Peter. It doesn’t need to be long or eloquent – it simply needs to express our hearts desire, or our gratitude to our Father in Heaven for His mighty works.

 

There is a subtle difference between Redeemer and Savior – the Redeemer removes the yoke and bondage of sin from our weary shoulders, and the Savior saves us from our sinful natures by bearing the burden of our Sins Himself.

 

The Lord is both Redeemer and Savior among other titles.

 

^{Isaiah 43: 2-3}   When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;

And through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

^hWhen thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;

Neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

³     For I am the Lord thy God,

The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour:

 

Isaiah 49:26

And all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour

And thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

 

The first mention of our Savior is in 

Luke 1:47 in the Magnificat – 

⁴⁶    And Mary said,

My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷    And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour

&

Luke 2:11 ¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord

 

In John 4:42, The men of Samaria proclaimed: 

 

Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

 

And there are too many other texts that declare our Lord Jesus Christ as Savior to list. The important thing for us to know is Him as our Savior and none other. 

 

This is a beautiful title for the One who saves us.

 

Until next time – God bless and Good bye
