The Grace of Lent
We know God only by Jesus Christ. Without this mediator all communion with God is taken away; through Jesus Christ, we know God. All those who have claimed to know God, and to prove him without Jesus Christ, have had only weak proofs. But in proof of Jesus Christ, we have the prophesies, which are solid and palpable proofs. And these prophesies, being accomplished and proved true by the event, mark the certainty of these truths, and therefore the divinity of Christ. In him then, and through him, we know God. Apart from him, and without the Scripture, without original sin, without a necessary mediator promised and come, we cannot absolutely prove God, nor teach right doctrine and right morality. But through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ, we prove God and teach morality and doctrine. Jesus Christ is then the true God of men. But we know at the same time our wretchedness; for this God is none other than the Savior of our wretchedness. So we can only know God well by knowing our iniquities. Therefore those who have known God, without knowing their wretchedness, have not glorified him, but have glorified themselves…
