Not Another Messenger, a Savior
By Randell Tiongson on June 18th, 2025
This message was impressed on my heart by the Holy Spirit, and I believe it’s meant for someone who’s grown weary—someone barely hanging on. Maybe it’s for you.
We all have seasons when life simply gets too heavy.
You’ve read books.
You’ve followed the advice.
You’ve watched the reels.
You’ve listened to the podcasts.
You’ve even tried to pray.
But deep inside, you still feel lost. Stuck. Empty.
I want to tell you something that might surprise you:
God knew messengers would never be enough. So He didn’t just send a messenger. He sent a Savior.

God Spoke Through Prophets — But That Wasn’t the End
In the Old Testament, God used prophets to speak to His people. These men and women carried the burden of calling out sin, declaring promises, and warning of judgment. But even then, the message was always temporary—always pointing forward to something greater.
Then came 400 years of silence. No prophet. No fresh word. No revival. Just waiting.
Until one day, the silence was broken—not by a new voice, but by the Word made flesh.
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…”
— Hebrews 1:1–2, ESV
This powerful verse frames the entirety of God’s redemptive story. In the Greek, the verb “has spoken” is in the aorist tense—indicating a completed action. God didn’t just add another chapter. He gave the final Word. The person of Jesus Christ is not a new messenger with better content—He is the message. He is the fulfillment.
This is the difference between advice and salvation.
Between good teaching and eternal rescue.
Jesus Came Not to Instruct, but to Intervene
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”
— John 3:17, ESV
The prophets pointed to righteousness.
But only the Son could become our righteousness.
The prophets declared the judgment of sin.
Only the Son could bear the penalty of that sin.
To the Weary: This is for You
If you’re worn out by life—if your heart feels hollow and your faith barely flickering—this is not the time for another sermon, another book, or another motivational quote.
You need a Savior.
You need the One who doesn’t just talk about hope, but is Hope Himself.
What This Means For You
God’s mission has always been about restoration. He doesn’t just want to inform you—He wants to heal you, save you, redeem you, and lead you home.
And that hope begins not with you doing more, but by trusting what He has already done.
“It is finished.”
— John 19:30
The work of salvation is done. The door is open. The invitation is clear.
So What Now?
Let me encourage you with four simple steps:
1. Know your Savior.
Don’t settle for secondhand spirituality. Read the Gospels. Encounter the real Jesus.
2. Put your faith and hope in Him.
Don’t put your trust in this broken world. Anchor your soul in His finished work.
3. Know the Bible.
God speaks today—clearly and consistently—through His Word. Open it again.
4. Be part of a spiritual community.
Don’t do life alone. Join a Bible-believing church. Let others walk with you. We were never meant to journey in isolation.
My Thoughts For You
This is not just a devotional.
This is an invitation from the Father, through the Son, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Not another messenger. A Savior.
And His name is Jesus.
If you don’t have a church yet, consider joining a Bible-based community where you can grow in faith, be surrounded by people who care, and most of all—where Jesus is the center.
Hope is not dead.
Hope is alive.
And His name is Jesus.
