y <strong>the</strong> head. What we learn about <strong>the</strong> Scriptures,<br />

we must learn by heart, “<strong>the</strong> eyes of your<br />

understanding being enlightened, that ye may<br />

know,”--know it really and truly by heart.<br />

When Christ told <strong>the</strong>m that He had kept His<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r’s commandments, He told <strong>the</strong>m that He was<br />

<strong>the</strong> manifestation of God on <strong>the</strong> earth. He told <strong>the</strong>m<br />

in those words that God was in Christ, reconciling<br />

<strong>the</strong> world unto Himself; He told <strong>the</strong>m that He did<br />

not speak His own words, but <strong>the</strong> words of His<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r. “The Fa<strong>the</strong>r that dwelleth in Me, He doeth<br />

<strong>the</strong> works.” He told <strong>the</strong>m that He was <strong>the</strong> Word of<br />

God on <strong>the</strong> earth, because He was declaring <strong>the</strong><br />

character of God. He told <strong>the</strong>m He was Jesus<br />

Christ. All this He told <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong>se words: “I<br />

have kept My Fa<strong>the</strong>r’s commandments.” Christ<br />

was a man, <strong>the</strong> Son of man. There has, <strong>the</strong>n, been<br />

one man who walked this earth, and kept <strong>the</strong><br />

commandments of God. He is our example. We are<br />

to walk as He walked.<br />
