Christ, the Mediator

In the beginning, man talks with God face to face. Transgression of heaven's law debars him from the divine presence. Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, sacrifices His position, and by incarnate birth, connects with the human family, and redeems Adam's failure. He is caught up to heaven, and there, in the presence of God, pleads His victory in behalf of every one who will accept by faith the merits thus freely offered. The veil that so long separated man from direct intercourse with God, was rent from the temple when Christ sealed His sacrifice with His lifeblood; and now, with no separating veil between, He occupies a seat on the throne of eternity, and God proclaims, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4: 12.
