God, apart from Christ, is
an angry, offended Sovereign. Unless we
behold Him in and through Christ, the Mediator, the terrors of His Majesty
would overwhelm us. We dare not
approach the Father except in Christ because of our sins. We first fasten our eyes upon Christ, then
upon the Father. If Christ does not
bear our guilt and reconcile us unto God, we perish! Before any man can think
to stand before the face of God's justice or be admitted to the secret chamber
of God's mercy or partake of the riches of His grace, he must look to the
Mediator, Christ Jesus.
