THE DELIVERER.

September 1

Romans 11:26  

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, 

There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, 

and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 

The Lord Jesus Christ is anointed and appointed to deliver His people whenever they need His aid; for this purpose all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored in Him, authority over all flesh is given to Him, and every attribute of Deity can be exerted by Him.

We are not left to the mercy of men, we are not expected to deliver ourselves, but we are to look to Jesus, who is glorified in delivering us from all evil, and preserving us to His eternal kingdom and glory.

To Him we are to repair in every trial, from Him we are to expect deliverance in every danger; He is in office on purpose to hear us, appear for us, and bless us.

He delivers in temporals as well as spirituals, from internal to external foes.

Let us remember this title of our beloved Lord, and make use of Him as the DELIVERER, in preference to every other.

Apply to Him first in every difficulty, rely on Him with confidence in every trial, and He will deliver you until deliverance is no longer required.

“He will deliver thee in six troubles, and in seven shall no evil touch thee.“

No one can look to Jesus, or trust in God in vain.

Why should His people now be sad?

None have such reason to be glad

As those redeem’d to God;

Jesus the mighty Saviour lives,

To them eternal life He gives,

The purchase of His blood.
