Visual Salvation

Exodus 14. Two key verses, in this dramatic chapter, capture our attention: Exodus 14:13, 30. Jonah learned from the fish's belly what the Israelites learned from the shores of the Red Sea: "Salvation is of the LORD" (Jonah 2:9). If it's not all of the Lord, it's not salvation at all. For we are saved by His grace through faith, and there's nothing we can "do" to accomplish our salvation (Eph.2:8-9). Salvation is not '"do" something'; it's already done! We are to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Our part is simply to fear not and believe.

That brings me to a question: can one see salvation? I'm reminded of Peter and John standing before the Sanhedrin. They saw the boldness of Peter and John (Acts 4:13). Can you see salvation? You will see the miraculous results. You will see the miraculous change in one's life. And if you can't, then one has to question whether salvation occurred in the first place. Do others see Jesus in you?
