A Saviour
Bishop Hacker. Luke 2:11 For to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. It comprehends all other names of grace and blessing; as manna is said to have all kind of supers in it to please the taste. When you have called Him the glass in which we see all truth, the fountain in which we taste all sweetness, the ark in which all precious things are laid up, the pearl which is worth all other riches, the flower of Jesse which hath the savour of life unto life, the bread that satisfieth all hunger, the medicine that healeth all sickness, the light that dispelleth all darkness; when you have run over all these, and as many more glorious titles as you can lay on, this one word is above them, and you may pick them all out of these syllables, "a Saviour which is Christ the Lord." (Bishop Hacker.) Parallel Verses KJV: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
