Our Faith Saves

Written By Betty Predmore

In today's scripture, I would like to concentrate on Luke 19:44. Jesus is telling the unbelievers, those who scheme and try to devise plans to kill him, that he feels sorry for them because they have not understood all that he has been saying, nor do they know the way to find peace. He concludes with verse 44: "They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you."

He is letting them know that they will have these troubles because they did not believe that he is God. And that their enemies will never stop until they are destroyed.

The same holds true today. We have an enemy that is out to crush us into the ground (and straight down to hell). He will never stop coming after us when we choose to not acknowledge Jesus as our Savior.

Only when we live a life for Christ do we have the assurance that we can stand up to that enemy. It is not through our strength, but the strength of Jesus. It is not by our wisdom, but his.

Our faith saves us from the enemy...if only we recognize and believe.
