Verse of the Day
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners… [1 Timothy 1:15 – NKJV]
I remember my first day of work at El Paso Energy back in 1997. Buried in the mound of paper on my desk was a job description. I briefly looked at it and then tossed it aside. Despite my cavalier attitude, job descriptions are useful things. It’s always a good idea to know what your duties and responsibilities are and what you’re expected to produce or accomplish. Almost all of us in the workforce have job descriptions, but what about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ? Does He get a pass from this somewhat mundane requirement? Absolutely not!
Today’s passage makes that abundantly clear. Jesus came into the world to save sinners. That’s His job description and we can get down on our knees and give thanks that His Boss, God the Father, gave it to Him! Thank you, Jesus, for doing your job!
