Solus Christus

Acts 4:1-12
1 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some of the Sadducees. 2 These leaders were very disturbed that Peter and John were teaching the people that through Jesus there is a resurrection of the dead. 3 They arrested them and, since it was already evening, put them in jail until morning. 4 But many of the people who heard their message believed it, so the number of men who believed now totaled about 5,000.5 The next day the council of all the rulers and elders and teachers of religious law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, along with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and other relatives of the high priest. 7 They brought in the two disciples and demanded, “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of our people, 9 are we being questioned today because we’ve done a good deed for a crippled man? Do you want to know how he was healed? 10 Let me clearly state to all of you and to all the people of Israel that he was healed by the powerful name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, the man you crucified but whom God raised from the dead. 11 For Jesus is the one referred to in the Scriptures, where it says,

   ‘The stone that you builders rejected
   has now become the cornerstone.’

12 There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.”

 “I have no other advocate, mediator, or savior but Jesus Christ alone, through whom I am reconciled to God.”
-M. Luther, Freedom of a Christian
 
“We are saved by Christ alone, by His sole merit, and by no other means than through Him”
-Calvin, Institutes

Christ Alone Is Our Bridge Back to God

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.

Christ Alone Is the Foundation of Our Faith

1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.

Matthew 7:28-29
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 for he taught with real authority—quite unlike their teachers of religious law.

Psalm 118:22-26
22 The stone that the builders rejected
   has now become the cornerstone.
23 This is the LORD’s doing,
    and it is wonderful to see.
24 This is the day the LORD has made.
    We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Please, LORD, please save us.
  Please, LORD, please give us success.
26 Bless the one who comes in the name of the LORD.
     We bless you from the house of the LORD

Christ Alone Deserves the Spotlight of our Devotion

Colossians 1:18
Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything.

Jesus Christ is the ultimate hero to our personal and corporate tragedy.

Acts 4:12
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.
