He proved himself their saviour

He proved himself their saviour
in all their troubles,
It was neither messenger nor angel
But his presence that saved them.
Isaiah 63:8b-9a Jerusalem Bible

Though there are indeed angels, as scripture informs us, to do God’s bidding, as did the one named Gabriel in bringing to the Jewish girl Mary the good news that she had found favor with YHWH, Israel’s saviour and the world’s only living God, and had been chosen to bear His people’s King, His Son, though she had known no man and was yet a virgin—it is YHWH Himself through His presence among us that saves us, and nothing but nothing else, and that, only when we respond to His call with, “Yes, Lord, let it be done unto me according to Your Word.”
