Again, what think ye of Christ as the son of Mary, the perfect human being; partaking of all the properties and qualities, the infirmities and sufferings and sympathies, the desires, the wants, the hopes and fears of man, as far as they are separate from sin? Do you contemplate His life on earth, to ascertain what you can and ought to be, and to follow His example? Are you encouraged in every aim, every resolute resistance of evil, every patient submission to suffering, every fulfilment of duty, every pursuit of righteousness by the thought “_Man_ has done it, the Man Whom I am required to imitate.” Do you think of Him as still retaining His manhood with all its experience, and acquired wisdom, and perfected obedience? Do you rejoice in such a Sympathizer, such a Mediator, such a Helper, such a Judge? One who can feel for you in your trials, can describe faithfully to His Father, from His own experience, your condition and necessities, through His knowledge can supply exactly what you need, and make due allowance for your shortcomings and offences? Once more, what think ye of Christ as the Son of GOD? very and eternal GOD, with all the Divine attributes, power, knowledge, justice, holiness, and exaction of obedience, abhorrence of evil, wrath against sin, love of righteousness? Do you feel that He is mighty to save? Do you live as under His all-searching eye? Are you convinced that He is impartially just, alike to approve and disapprove, to reward and punish, in His present and future dealings with all the partakers of His covenant? Do you realise the utter impossibility of being loved by Him, of being allowed to draw nigh to Him, of deriving any benefit from Him now or hereafter, if you are impure, worldly, unloving, indifferent? Are you impressed with the guilt of disobedience to Him, a twice revealed, a doubly jealous GOD, binding you to Himself by the mercies and responsibility of redemption, as well as creation, and by the threats and forebodings of a particular and most righteous judgment? Is it thus you think of Christ as GOD?
