Christ Our Saviour

THE bad fact of sin is still in the world. And by sin, we mean, not a mere mishap that ensues upon a lack of knowing; not the inconvenience that follows, as a necessity, from the abilities of a finite intelligence, but the actual loss that comes to souls by wilful and positive wrong-doing. Sin being still here, and having the race and the individual in its death-grip, we still need a Saviour, who, by renewal in us, makes us able to break out of its fetters and be free. A real, tender, strong Saviour is still the most quickening and blessed tidings announced among men. Law is good, Science is good, but personal Love and Help are better. We understand quite well why so great a spirit as Paul could say, "Jesus Christ is all and in all." For if it were not for this ever replenishing Christ, humanity would be neither equal to utter a science nor obey a law.
