"You shall call His name <em>Jesus </em>—for He shall save His people from their sins!" Matthew 1:21 <br>
<p align="justify">  <br>
<em>Jesus! </em>Precious name, how sweet it is! How well it befits Him who bears it—and how glorious is the salvation which He accomplishes! <br>
  <br>
  Misery is the natural consequence of sin. Everything that God enjoins is good—and everything that He forbids is evil. Jesus saves His people from their <em>sins </em>—and so saves them from <em>misery </em>. He <em>died </em>to atone for transgressions—and He ever <em>lives </em>to save His people from the <em>power </em>and <em>practice </em>of sin; yes, and eventually from the very <em>presence </em>of sin. <br>
  <br>
  My soul, let your whole trust be in Jesus, not only for deliverance from guilt and its consequences—but from sin in its manifold workings. You are powerless against your inward corruptions—but Jesus is "mighty to save." He can subdue your iniquities. Trust Him then, for <strong><em>sanctifying grace </em>as well as <em>pardoning mercy! </em></strong><br>
  <br>
  Dwell much on all He did and suffered for you—and in His agony in the garden of Gethsemane, and on the cross at Calvary, see something of the exceeding sinfulness of your sins, from which He died to save you. <br>
  <br>
"He will subdue our iniquities—and cast all our sins into the depths of the sea!" Micah 7:19 <br>
  <br>
"Jesus' blood, for sinners spilt, <br>
&nbsp; Shows my sin in all its guilt. <br>
&nbsp; Ah, my soul, He bore your load, <br>
&nbsp; You have slain the Lamb of God! <br>
  <br>
"Farewell, world! your gold is dross <br>
&nbsp; Now I see the bleeding cross! <br>
&nbsp; Jesus died to set me free <br>
&nbsp; From the law, and sin, and thee!" <br>
