JESUS: THE HOLY ONE

For You will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will You allow

Your Holy One to see corruption.

ACTS2:27

Jesus is the Holy One of God. He was the Father's Representative sent to Earth to redeem the sinful race. When Adam sinned, all humanity was lost. Because the Father loved the people He created, He wanted to save them. How could the Father punish their sin yet allow people to go free? Since God the Father couldn't change His nature, He had to punish their rebellion and disobedience. So He sent Jesus to Earth to live a perfect life; Jesus was the Holy One. Jesus was the sinless One who was punished for the sins of the human race. He was the Father's Representative to give eternal life to those who would believe in Him.

Lord Jesus, I praise You for coming to Earth to die for my sins. I know

that You are the Holy One of God; thank You for Your sacrifice. Help

me live a godly life as a testimony for You.

Because Jesus was your Representative on the cross, He now wants you to be His representative to your non-Christian friends and relatives. He wants you to live a holy life before them. He wants you to share with them the plan of salvation. Since He has died for you, He wants you to live for Him.

Lord Jesus, I will be Your representative today. I will try to

live a holy life, but I need help. Come live in me and manifest

Yourself through me to others. Help me be a good example to

both saved and unsaved people. Amen.

Reading: Psalm 16

Key Thought: Jesus was the Holy One.
