By His Life and Death on Earth, Jesus Opened for Us the Riches of the Universe ㅡ

 “And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.”

 (John 1:16)

The life and the death of Christ, the price of our redemption, are not only to us the promise and pledge of life, not only the means of opening again to us the treasures of wisdom: they are a broader, higher revelation of His character than even the holy ones of Eden knew.

And while Christ opens heaven to man, the life which He imparts opens the heart of man to heaven.

Sin not only shuts us away from God, but destroys in the human soul both the desire and the capacity for knowing Him.

All this work of evil it is Christ’s mission to undo.

The faculties of the soul, paralyzed by sin, the darkened mind, the perverted will, He has power to invigorate and to restore.

He opens to us the riches of the universe, and by Him the power to discern and to appropriate these treasures is imparted.
