I THE INCARNATION
j By J A. Bell, Athens
} 'Text: John 1:14.—“And the word

; The Apostle’John is here dwell
! Ing upon one of the greatest myr-
teiles in divine revelation. Still
. It Is the grandest and m^st-glori-
, mis consummation ever recorded-
1 He tells us that the Word war
mnde flesh and dwelt among t*«
As if lifting the’veil from the mys-
terious Word, he adds: ‘‘We behc-ld
His glory, the, glory ns of tho or.l
begotten of the Father, full o
grace and truth."
So, inspiration reveal^* tho mys*
tery to John who clearly te’ds
that It Is the only begotton of th«
Father: .I^sus Christ, the Son a

of the life and teachings of Chrl*t

j Yet there are analogies, for the
former were the utterances of the
: Father’s will, the latter, the
bodlment of that will In mortal
flesh. Those being entities of the
same Sovereign will for a slmllaj
purpose in time, must necessarily
have alike such qualities m truth

But In the use of tho term Lo-

thing more peculiar in it thnn any
other descriptive of Christ—Johr.
was adapting himself to the mind
of Greek and Jewish phllosQphen
nnd those under their Influence
These quasi philosophers used th«
same term—logos (“word")—Ir.
their extended speculations re
snecting the Deity. The Uews
s'hould understand his meaning, fqj
they used a term corresponding tr
Word in referring to the exalted
Being ns. described in the Old
Testament, ns appearing to thi
Patriarchs’ nnd to others distin

So much sufficiently explains
John’s use of the term Word, a:

The' Tncarnntion of Christ, o-
God manifest in the flesh, is look
ed upon as phenomenal. But does
this invalidate the*fact? Does 1*
not rnthcr confirm it? Men do no’
usually question phenomena ir
nature. They accept them os para
doxical; for they see so many evi
dences of reality, yet beyond the!’
conception, that they receive then

“Wherefore when He cometh in

PROPHECY SHEDS LIGHT
ON FACT OF INCARNATION
We have Just had the problem oi
symbols, and now that - of wise
sayings—full-bown, • ripe truths
They are fraught with jthe aroma
of God’s breath sounding out th<
pure notes of the sweet promiser
of Heaven, , These prophenta are
pealing forth in clear, stentoriar
voice the will of Good, the Father,
which must shortly be fulfilled.
They give forth the signal of the
watch at dawn, when the soft gray
light fortells the blush of the glow
ing sun. The voice of prophecy
from the lips 1 of Isaiah proclaim*
that Christ is Immanuel. God wit*
us. "Behold the virgin shall
ceive nnd bear a Son and shall call
his name Immanuel.” (7:14). The
tender voice of Jeemlah is heard:
"Behold, the da$rs come, saith the
Lord, that I shall raise unto David
a righteous branch and a Kin*
shall eigrt- rand posper and shal‘
execute judgment and justice in
the earth’s (2i:5.)
Micah brings before us in living
Image the birthplace and coming
of the essiah—the Word. Hear
him: "But thou, Bethlehem Eph-
ratnh. though thou be little among
the thousands of Judah, yet out ol
thee shall He come forth unto me
that is to be ruler In Israel; whose
•roings forth have been from of old
from evelntslng (5:2.) Thus In-
miration through the voice of pro-
ohecy hears testimony-to the fact
that the Word should becom*
fle*fi—Immanuel—the veitable
God. the God-man, with us.
We have the angelic proclama
tion and'the testimony of faithful
and tue eye witnesses to the fact
ot the Incarnation, (a) The
onuncement to Mary, the espoused
of Joseph,' that she was highly fa
vored of the Lord and blessed
among men. For she should brlnr
forth a Son nnd call His namr
Tesus—Savior, (b) Next, Is the
ongelic paeon:
In the fullness of time, lo! there
appears to the weary shepherds of
Tudean plains an* angel. saying:
"Fear not; for behold I bring you
good tidings of gegt Joy, which
shall be to all people. For untc
you Is born this day. In the City of
David, a Savior, which Is Christ
the Lord.’* \ /
so raaveluua was this birth that
not only a senphic voice from
lestlnl glory came to eat*' to* hpar
testimony for Heaven’s Gift; but
nature contributed her sublime and
unblemished testimony. How sig
nificant the emblem, the smiling
star of the East. May we not
•ad In its supenal light, of
ioy,*poach and good will, Heaven Is
♦d reveal in the Babe of Bethle
hem?
(c) Next we hear the awaken
ing voice of John the Baptist
saying: "This is He of whom
spoke, He that cometh 'after n
’s preferred before me, for He wa»
before me." , f ’ . ' r
How like the testimony of the be
loved John (who faithfully gives ui
what he received from Christ*!
dally companions, when he says:
"In the beginning was the "Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word) was .God. 1 * super-adding:
"And the Word was made flegh and
dwelt among us (and we beheld
His glory,. the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father) full ol
grace and truth.”
' Christ had innumerable witnesa-
es to the fact ot His incarnation
His apoitles nnd Hts disciples, and
the entire multitudes which throng
ed Him,'had repeated confirmation
of this heaven-born truth. The
amazed and doubting multitudes. In
spits of their doubts, were made to
cry out in acknowledgment of Hi*
Divine greq/ness and human ex
cellency. When His apostles wouU
allow their tears to so pervert
their faith that It would change
Christ Into a phantom, as on the
water, or with the lonely two go
ing to Emmaus, He would by* njanj
strong attestations show Hfmseli
to be the an, Chlst Jesus*
God’s Word Is x radiant and
blowing with testimonials to tb*
Incarnation.
That the Divine essence should
have incorporated itself Into flesh
and blood might seem puzzling ttf
is not strange. Finite mind
cannot rise to grasp and take in
the marvels of the Infinite,
The necessity of the Incarnation
is owing to the fullness of time,
mean God’s purpose. Gal 4:4—"Bu'
when the fullness of time came
God sent forth His Ron born of f
woman."- The design of the cere
monial law—its sacrificial ant
prievtliood atoning*—have mete)*
out their mission. In other* words
the necessity of the Incarnatior
has been proven. Types, shadow*
having, proven their Inefficiency—
ns a means of atoning for rlns—
have given way to that which l»
real and sufficient. Ilenbe Paul ?n
Hebrews: "For tt Is impossible that
the blood of bullr and goatv Should
take away tins. . . Sacrifice and
offerings and whole burnt offer
ing and sacrifices for sin thou
wouldst not. neither hadst pleasure
therein.. . Then He hath said, Lo, 1
come to do Thy will.” Thr
ritualism of tho foitoer dispensa
tion marktd it os transitory. The
present Exceeds the former by
so far ns its great Sacrifice, givlnc
and efficiency all the effete f<
of a ceremonial law. Aa God tlu
Father willed th^t_the former
should be transitory. He wills thut
the latter (through Christ) shall Bt
eternal. Hence it is written o:
Christ: "He taketh away the tost
that He may e^ablleh the second.’
Adding: “By which will be hav<
been sanctified (i, c. Justified!
through the offering of the body ot
Jesus Christ once for all."
So in the fullnes of time, the in
carnate God has given us .a com
plete, peifetd ntt’-VatiGii, cfidUVln*
for -all .through all time . Tho In
carnation was owing to man’s con
dition and God’s requirement. Man
was Jhe victim of moral death
And stlch was his imbecility am*
depravity that he is described ns r
being benighted, enveloped in mora’
darkness. Christ came to retrieve
man from the consequences of sin
moral death and degradation
•Hence the beloved John tells'
“In Him tfas life; and the life war
the light of men."
Man’s nature is such, so uiterly
depraved that its retrieve required
more ’ than human interposition
Such is man’s corrupt nnd *irful
stats that his alleviation and tlis-
enthralldom would involve an op
posite nature. It would require the
blending of those attribute'* that
the genius of Tennyson pays tc
Christ: “Thou seemesb both human
and divine; the highest, holiest
manhood thou."
SO Juim btfiieiu HliU, iuu>
equipped with heavenly purity, for
■ays he: “And the Word became
flesh nnd dwelt among us, full ot
grace and truth," 1. e.. "OmiM for
grace"—added, added. Thus Christ
(came manned with that moral and
spiritual nature and power which
were equal to every exigency, at
his life illustrated..
Christ in his sacrificial offering
when coming to do the will of the
Father who had no pleasure in
burnt offerings ami sacriflcef foi
sin, clearly indicated the nature oj
his mission by the inefficiency 6i
other • offerings and the efficiency
of ills own. There had to be in
volved in this propitiatory suer I-
fic? a greater power and Bac-red-
ncss (purity) than erring, sinfu
man possessed.
^This may be marvelous in our
sight, but how much more mar
velous that God could in any way
be reconciled unto us! We or<
poor miserable, undeserving shi
ners. We are only to bea.* in mint!
this great fact,—PauLto th’ Corin
thiuns: “But all things ar? of God
who reconciled us to •Ilirasel'
through Christ nnd gave unto u>
the ministry of reeorfcltiatipn. . .'
To Insure this ground and word oi
reconciliation, the Son had to us
si,me our nature, thereby becom
ing a middle prison, possessing th*
nature of God and man. Only it
this way could the righteous claim
of Heaven be satisfied and* fallen
man be exalted, dignified ana modi
righteous. In Christ there are nr
conflicting elements: “Mercy and
Truth are met together: righteous
ness and peuce have kissed each
other," Pa. . 85:10.- This act ot
mediation does not take from Christ
any of His dignity find dlvinr
glory nnd exaltation. This was at.
official nFL He condescended tf
this complex person,' Divine ' and
human, officially. This He did in
order to carry out the will of Hit
Father—in satisfying the demandr
of the law against sin, or man a*
transgressor o fthat law. His mld-
(gtlon, which required His incar
nation, was a commission of Hit-
Father. 3n this He became ser
