_4. Christ the Mediator:_ In this second Personage of the Godhead,
then, one may see not only the Redeemer, the Savior, the Revealer of
God; but through those offices one may also see the Brother and Friend
of man. The Mediator, the one who brings God close to man; the one who
brings men close to God. The one who reflects God into the world. The
one who banishes the terror which men have had of God, and reveals the
love of God, and the mercy and compassion of the Father--the one whom
the ages longed for--the need of the world as Mediator between man
and violated law--Herald of grace--Christ the Son of God, by way of
pre-eminence; Christ, the Brother and Friend of Man.
_5. God the Holy Ghost--Witness in the Godhead; Spirit of Truth
and Revealer of Truth:_[A] "I give you to understand, that no man
speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man
can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Ghost,"--Paul.[B]
[Footnote A: As this Divine Personage of the Holy Trinity is to be
the subject of several lessons, and the central thought in this
whole treatise here only so much is said of him as will suggest his
relationship to the other two personages of the Godhead, and indicate
his special office.]
[Footnote B: I Cor. xii:3.]
"Then are ye in the straight and narrow path * * * and ye have received
the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and of the Son."[A]
[Footnote A: II Nephi xxxi:18.]
"When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father,
even the Spirit of Truth which proceedeth from the Father, he shall
testify of me."[A]
[Footnote A: St. John xv:26.]
"Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into
all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
"He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you.
"All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he
shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."[A]
[Footnote A: St. John xvi:13, 15.]
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you."[A]
[Footnote A: St. John xiv:26.]
