Jesus the Christ: The Words and Their Meaning
G. Homer Durham April 1984 Saturday Morning Session
Recently, while I was driving on the highway, a car passed. This was not unusual. The bumper sticker was a little different, saying, “Save the Humans.” One sees many bumper stickers these days. This one turned my thoughts to something fundamental, the word save. I thought of the plan of salvation. I thought of the world of scholarship, and of Professor Arnold Toynbee’s analysis of the many so-called “saviours” found in history. (A Study of History, abridgment, vols. 7–10, D. C. Somervell, chap. 20, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1957, np.) We know that one Savior truly saves—the Lord Jesus Christ. This is His church. We have taken upon ourselves His name.
