Conclusion: There is no room left to doubt the absolute Deity of Jesus
Christ. It is a glorious truth. The Saviour in whom we believe is God,
a Saviour for whom nothing is too hard, a Saviour who can save from the
uttermost and save to the uttermost. Oh, how we should rejoice that we
have no merely human Saviour, but a Saviour that is absolutely God. On
the other hand, how black is the guilt of rejecting such a Saviour as
this! Whoever refuses to accept Jesus as his Divine Saviour and Lord is
guilty of the enormous sin of rejecting a Saviour Who is God. Many a
man thinks he is good because he never stole, or committed murder, or
cheated. "Of what great sin am I guilty?" he complacently asks. Have
you ever accepted Jesus Christ? "No." Well, then _you are guilty of
the awful and damning sin of rejecting a Saviour Who is God_. "But,"
you answer, "I do not believe that He is God." That does not change
the fact nor lessen your guilt. Questioning a fact or denying a fact
never changes it, regardless of what Mary Baker Eddy may say to the
contrary. Suppose a man had a wife who was one of the noblest, purest,
truest women that ever lived, would her husband's questioning her
purity and nobility change the fact? It would not. It would simply make
that husband guilty of awful slander, it would simply prove that man to
be an outrageous scoundrel. So denying the Deity of Jesus Christ, does
not make his Deity any less a fact, but it does make the denier of His
Deity guilty of awful, incredible, blasphemous slander. It does prove
you who deny His Deity to be——. I leave your own conscience to finish
the sentence.

JESUS CHRIST A REAL MAN
"And the word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld
his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full
of grace and truth."—John 1:14.
"Who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an
equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself,
taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of
man; and being found in fashion as man, he emptied himself,
becoming obedient even unto death, yea the death of the
cross."—Phil. 2:6-8.
"There is one God, one mediator also between God and men,
himself man, Christ Jesus."—1 Tim. 2:5.
