THE SIMPLICITY OF SALVATION
Alexander III was the Tsar
[emperor] of Russia from 1881 to 1894. His
reign was marked by political repression, and in particular by a horrific persecution
of the Jews. On the other hand, his
wife, Maria Feodorovna, provided a stark contrast and was known for her
generosity to those in need.
On one occasion her husband
signed an order consigning a prisoner to life in exile. It read simply “Pardon impossible, to be sent to Siberia.”
Maria changed that prisoner’s
entire life and destiny by simply moving the comma in her husband’s order. She altered the message to read “Pardon, impossible to be sent to Siberia.”
Through the atonement of
Jesus Christ, the Father forever changed the comma that stood against our
freedom and our future. “Pardon impossible, send to hell” was
miraculously changed to the good news of our eternal salvation: “Pardon, impossible to send to hell.”
The Son of God became a man
to enable men to become the sons of God.
Simply receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. That’s all…because CHRIST is ALL.
