We worship that gloriously unique God-Man, the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of Mary. He is the Messenger and the Message, our Priest and our Sacrifice, the sum and substance of our Theology, that divine truth we know and love. What we call "Calvinism" or "The Doctrines of Grace" are embodied in Him. One may be familiar with these doctrines and not know Him, but one cannot know Him and have any lasting problems with these doctrines, because ..... they emanate from Him, being of the very essence of His glorious Person and work. True faith (the gift of God wrought in the soul through the Word, (Romans 10:17), cannot conceive of HIM as being anything less than absolutely sovereign, and of His work for and in the sinner, as being anything other than absolutely free and effectual. Thus, Praise His Name! He is a real and sure hope for real sinners.
