Robert Hawker preaches about the fulfillment of God's promise in raising
up Jesus as the Savior for Israel, emphasizing Jesus' credentials as the
Father's gift, sent and anointed for salvation. Jesus embodies all the
promises of the Bible, revealing God as the great Promiser who not only
gave the rich Savior to sinners but also raised Him from the dead for
their justification. Believers are urged to examine their relationship
with Jesus, acknowledging their need for Him, accepting Him as their
Savior, and finding complete salvation in Him.

AUGUST 24.

MORNING.

"According to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Saviour: Jesus."
Acts 13:23

Mark, my soul, the blessedness of these words. Jesus is not only
Israel's Saviour, and has fully lived up to, in every point, that
glorious description- but here we are led to discover his credentials.
This is faith's warrant. I believe in Jesus. Why? He brings with him the
name, the authority, the commission of God the Father. Jesus is the
appointment, the enactment, the method Jehovah has sent forth for
salvation. Sweet thought! So that, added to all that I behold in the
Lord Jesus, adapted to my case and circumstances, I here see that Jesus
as the Father's gift, the Father's sent, the Father's anointed, full of
grace and truth.

Jesus is therefore the great promise of the Bible; for in him are
enfolded and contained all the promises. And I see also, that God our
Father was, and is, the great Promiser. And I see that God not only gave
this rich Saviour to poor sinners, but, according to his promise, raised
him up also from the dead, when he had made his soul an offering for
sin, to bless them: for it is said, "that he was delivered for our
offences, and raised again for our justification." My soul, pause over
this blessed account, and look for your own interest in it. If God has
raised up to Israel this Saviour, what do you know of him? Have you felt
your need of a Saviour? Do you accept the Father's Saviour? Is Jesus
your Saviour? Are you come to him for salvation? Now that God the Father
has raised him up, does he appear to you in all his beauty, in his
suitable and complete salvation?
