Through Jesus Christ
The expression "through Jesus Christ" appears again and again in the New Testament. God's blessings flow down from Him to us through the Lord Jesus Christ. He channels them all through Him.
In pardoning a sinner, many think that it is simply a matter of God directly exercising clemency to a sinner. They go to God and see no need for the Lord Jesus Christ. They can do without Him. They feel that they can just ask for forgiveness from God and that's it. They go away feeling confident that their forgiveness has been secured...just like that.
Salvation without Jesus, forgiveness without Jesus, divine mercy without Jesus are wicked lies brewed in the cauldron of Satan. Satan wants sinners to bypass the cross of Christ in Calvary.
No. No. No. Open your eyes. God's blessings have always been through Jesus Christ. God's spiritual blessings are the fruits of the tree of Calvary. You can't have them without the tree. You can't have them without the Lord Jesus Christ.
Put your trust in what the Lord Jesus Christ did for you at Calvary Cross. Find salvation, forgiveness of sins and pardon for all your sins through Him.
