Christ the Redeemer
There
is no other. “There
is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.” All
the types and symbols of the Savior teach you this. There was one ark
in the flood - but one; and all perished save those who sailed in it.
There was one altar in the temple - but one; and no sacrifices were
accepted but those offered there - “the
altar,” as the
Bible says, that “sanctified
the gift.” There
was one way through the depths of the Red Sea - but one; and only
where the water, held back by the hand of God, stood up in crystals
walls, was a passage opened for those that were ready to perish. And
even so, there is but “One
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
The only Redeemer of God’s elect is the Lord Jesus Christ.
-Gospel
report by preacher Thomas Guthrie (1803 – 1873 A.D.)
