1. DIVINE NAMES ARE GIVEN TO HIM. 2. DIVINE WORSHIP IS ASCRIBED TO HIM. 3. DIVINE QUALITIES AND PROPERTIES ARE POSSESSED BY HIM. 4. DIVINE OFFICES ARE ASCRIBED TO HIM. 5. DIVINE ATTRIBUTES ARE POSSESSED BY HIM. 6. CHRIST'S NAME IS COUPLED WITH THAT OF THE FATHER. 7. THE SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRISTAS MANIFESTED: a) In His Visit to the Temple. b) In His Baptism. c) In His Temptation. d) In the Calling of the Twelve and the Seventy. e) In the Sermon on the Mount. B. THE WORK OF CHRIST. 1. HIS DEATH. 2. HIS RESURRECTION. 3. HIS ASCENSION AND EXALTATION. THE DOCTRINE OF JESUS CHRIST. A. THE PERSON OF CHRIST. The close kinship of Christ with Christianity is one of the distinctive features of the Christian religion. If you take away the name of Buddha from Buddhism and remove the personal revealer entirely from his system; if you take away the personality of Mahomet from Mahommedanism, or the personality of Zoroaster from the religion of the Parsees, the entire doctrine of these religions would still be left intact. Their practical value, such as it is, would not be imperilled or lessened. But take away from Christianity the name and person of Jesus Christ and what have you left? Nothing! The whole substance and strength of the Christian faith centres in Jesus Christ. Without Him there is absolutely nothing.--_Sinclair Patterson._ From beginning to end, in all its various phases and aspects and elements, the Christian faith and life is determined by the person and the work of Jesus Christ. It owes its life and character at every point to Him. Its convictions are convictions about Him. Its hopes are hopes which He has inspired and which it is for Him to fulfill. Its ideals are born of His teaching and His life. Its strength is the strength of His spirit.--_James Denney._ I. THE HUMANITY OF JESUS CHRIST. 1. THE SCRIPTURES DISTINCTLY TEACH THAT HE HAD A HUMAN PARENTAGE: THAT HE WAS BORN OF A WOMAN--THE VIRGIN MARY. Matt. 1:18--"Mary ... was found with child of the Holy Ghost." 2-11--"The young child with Mary his mother." 12:47 --"Behold, thy mother and thy brethren." 13:55--"Is not his mother called Mary?" John 1:14--"The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." 2:1--"The mother of Jesus was there." Acts 13:23--"Of this man's seed hath God ... raised ... ..Jesus." Rom.1:3--"Of the seed of David according to the flesh." Gal. 4:4--"Made of a woman." In thus being born of a woman Jesus Christ submitted to the conditions of a human life and a human body; became humanity's son by a human birth. Of the "seed of the woman," of the "seed of Abraham," and of line and lineage of David, Jesus Christ is undeniably human.
