The Son of God [Paperback]

About This Product

The opening paragraph of The Son of God says it best. “I am sure that I dread reasonings where affections should animate us, and the withdrawing from the place of living power into anything like a region of notions or theories. But the mysteries of God are all of the highest practical value, in either strengthening for service, comforting under trial, or enlarging the soul’s communion.”

These 180 uncrowded pages won’t take too long to read but will leave plenty of points to be pondered. It’s true that some of the language requires a reasonable command of English but nothing here is very difficult. There’s the occasional “avouched” or “ill-requited” but I had a hard time skimming to find a good example of difficult English to share with you. This was the most difficult quote I could find in my skimming, “The tears of Jesus over Jerusalem were as real as though there was nothing in His heart but the sorrow of an ill-requited Lord and Saviour over a rebellious unbelieving people.”

Mr. Bellett often draws together multiple different passages of God’s Word in a refreshing way. It’s pretty clear from the following quote that the author had more than a concordance level of insight into God’s Word. Commenting on the stilling of the Sea of Galilee the author says, “This was Jesus-Jehovah. This was the God whom Jordan and the Red Sea had, of old obeyed: ‘What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord.’ The answer lies there, whether we listen to the voice of the Red Sea in the days of Exodus, or to the Sea of Galilee in the times of the gospel.”
