Rescue Those 6.10.3

You stand before God and give an account. The only way that will go well for you is because, if you are in Christ, Jesus rescued you who were being carried off to death! He marched to the cross to rescue you as you were stumbling to the slaughter. He interposed His precious blood. Christ, our great example of rescuing those carried off to death, teaches us to offer real help to those who seek us, interposing on behalf of our preborn neighbors while clothed in the hope of Christ through His gospel. Did Christ Jesus only say, “Come to me . . . and I will give you rest?” (Matthew 11:28) or did He also say, “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10)? You know He said both. Jesus is not only the Great Physician to seek help from but also the Hound of Heaven who must track you down and rescue you without your permission. His rescue has set a model for believers to rescue others as Proverbs 24:11 states. Will you not, in your small way, do for others what Christ has done for you on an infinite scale? Just as Christ rescued us, we must do the same for others. How beautiful it is that the rescued become the rescuers!
