I The following sermon appeared in the Aug. 9th issup^of the Christian ! Index, and was contributed by hr J. A. Bell, well known Athena Bap tist minister: I THE INCARNATION j By J A. Bell, Athens } 'Text: John 1:14.—“And the word was made flesh and dwelt among ; 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 Clod, iuT of grace nnd tr*:th. John*! spet-if;? use of the term \7ord *!-;ei ‘ r.ot arise from any analogy ' bft tween the characteristic teachings o. the law of the prophets—ol God the Father, nnd the chnractei of the life and teachings of Chrl*t the Son. 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 holiness, eternity and of course In spiration. But In the use of tho term Lo- goa—not that we are to find any 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 guished among them. So much sufficiently explains John’s use of the term Word, a: meniflng Christ—simply adapting himself In language best uhder stood by those of his age.

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 vant of Ills Father, still Ho wa» •His Son.
