A Complete Saviour

JESUS CHRIST our Lord is a complete Saviour. He needs no pope, no cordon of councils or priests, no church creeds, between Him and the sinner in order to save that sinner’s soul. With His own human arm linked by power with the throne of the Eternal, and in infinite pity and tenderness, He reaches down to the lowest strata of humankind to lift up to companionship with God every longing human soul. O sinner, you may come to Him boldly! He is a royal priest, having “compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way,” that you may come. The door of mercy stands not ajar, but wide open. He says, “I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it,” be he called pope, bishop, or preacher. “He delighteth in mercy.” He is “pleased” with them that “hope in His mercy.” Will you not trust Him? He is able; He is wise; and He is willing. Will you not accept Him as your Saviour, His life as your light, His word as your guide?
