Chapter 147<br />

Christ’s Revelation of God<br />

All that man needs to know or can know of<br />

God has been revealed in <strong>the</strong> life and character of<br />

His Son.<br />

"No man hath seen God at any time; <strong>the</strong> onlybegotten<br />

Son, which is in <strong>the</strong> bosom of <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

He hath declared Him." (John 1:18)<br />

Taking humanity upon Him, Christ came to be<br />

one with humanity and at <strong>the</strong> same time to reveal<br />

our heavenly Fa<strong>the</strong>r to sinful human beings. He<br />

was in all things made like unto His brethren. He<br />

became flesh, even as we are. He was hungry and<br />

thirsty and weary. He was sustained by food and<br />

refreshed by sleep. He shared <strong>the</strong> lot of men, and<br />

yet He was <strong>the</strong> blameless Son of God. He was a<br />

stranger and sojourner on <strong>the</strong> earth—in <strong>the</strong> world,<br />

but not of <strong>the</strong> world; tempted and tried as men and<br />

women today are tempted and tried, yet living a<br />

life free from sin.<br />
