Christ Is Not a Delivery Boy

Contemporary evangelical thought refers time and again to Jesus "bringing" and "delivering" salvation, as if salvation were the beneficial product which Jesus the "delivery-boy" came to provide.

Christ did not deliver or bring salvation as some item, package, concept, construct, data, creed, etc...but He brought Himself. Or better stated, He gave Himself so that we could receive Him. We didn't receive a package, an it. We received HIM.
