CHRIST ALONE
SEPTMEBER 21
JESUS IS OUR MEDIATOR.
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us,
that might
lay his hand upon us both.
one that could stand between himself and God.
So does every convinced soul.
Being divine, Jesus can deal with God on equal terms.
Being human, he can seasonably sympathize
with and plead for us.
He
comes between us.
With one hand he presents an infinite atonement to God
for
our offences; with the other hand he presents
a free and full pardon of all sin
to us.
He makes up the breach.
He reconciles the parties.
He removes out of the
way all cause of disagreement.
In him there is no terror to make us afraid,
nor
will his hand be heavy upon us.
Reader, are you afraid to approach God?
does his
greatness terrify, or his wrath alarm you?
Fear not; there is one in your
nature
before the throne of God.
Jesus is there as the Mediator.
Put your cause
into his hand;
he will carry it.
Plead with him,
if you are afraid to plead
with the Father,
and he will plead for you.
He will ask for no compromise,
but
will present a full satisfaction to
divine justice for all your sins.
He will
unveil his Father's loving,
smiling countenance to you.
He will show you that
"God is love."
He will give you access into the favor of
the high and
lofty One that inhabits eternity.
Let Christ alone be your Mediator and Intercessor.
He is enough; all others are insufficient.
Tempted and tried one, lift up your
head;
Jesus is before the throne;
he stands between a just and holy God, and
you.
You have nothing to fear.
He has done the work required of you,
he has
paid the penalty demanded of you,
and now he pleads your cause.
For there is one God, and one mediator
between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus;
