The One Only Saviour

The One Only Saviour.—The above writer sees also the distractions and divisions and strife among mankind, and longs for peace. Thus he closes:

O! that some great mind could be born from Almighty God to pacify the waters of the religious, political, and financial world.

And this is a heart-cry of many, a cry which God has answered from the foundation of the world, in giving His only-begotten Son, Christ Jesus our Lord. In Him is all the fulness. He alone can speak peace to the troubled heart, to the great restless, throbbing, rolling sea of humanity. "Peace, peace, to him that is far off and to him that is near, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him." But it is peace in righteousness; for "the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can not rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." Isa. 57:19-21. But "the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever." Isa. 32:17. If the world is to know peace, it must find it in the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ. There is no other way.
