It means a lot of things. The implications of the Incarnation are beyond the scope of what we can imagine.
Primarily, it means that Christ made salvation possible. By offering Himself as the perfect sacrifice, serving as both Priest and Victim, He attained salvation for the human race.
Where once mankind was dead in sin, Christ made us alive.
Mike, Jesus Christ is NOT a potential Saviour, He IS Saviour.
Potential saviours might save you. Potential saviours could save you, potential saviours would like to save you.....BUT
God IS the Saviour of ALL mankind..."
Especially is not only.
Especially is not some.
"God is the Saviour of all mankind, especially those who believe. Command this and teach this."

" It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him." ~R.F.
