How was He manifested on earth as a Saviour? “For unto you is _born_ this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11. 8. Why was it necessary that He should be born thus, and partake of human nature? “Wherefore in all things it behooved Him to be made like unto His brethren, _that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God_, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.” Heb. 2:17. 9.
