His Eternal Glory.

HE was and is the Eternal Word, and the Word became flesh. The One Whose day Abraham saw, Whose praises David sang, Whose glory shone before Isaiah and Job. The Word that was in the beginning with God — that was God. The whole world was tested by the presence of the Christ of God in it. “What think ye of Christ?” was the question for all hearts when He was here. And what think ye of Christ is the question for the world today. John the Baptist proclaimed Him to be “the Lamb of God.” The woman of Samaria acknowledged him as “the Christ.” Nathaniel says: “Thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.” Martha bears her witness: “Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” The voice of angels had been heard on earth proclaiming the advent of “a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.” The temple silence had been broken by Simeon’s and Anna’s praise in recognition of the Redeemer. Peter’s words reveal the faith that filled his soul, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And John, with inspired conviction, says: “We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father.” And Thomas, sweeping doubts aside in the strong conviction of a satisfied and an adoring heart, cries: “My Lord and my God.” And the apostle Paul, with absolute certainty and exalted faith, says: “The Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.”
