Of One Being With the Father

The perfect blending of grace and truth, although unique, is not absolutely conclusive proof of anything more than exceptional Manhood; but as we continue to read the story of Jesus Christ in the Gospels we are soon brought face to face with a truly unique element. He is seen to be entirely without sin.

Pilate and Herod, who were incarnations of cleverness and cruelty, could find no fault in Him.

One of His earliest followers said of Him that He “did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth.”

The universal history of the highest and noblest saints shows that the nearer they approached the infinite holiness of God the more conscious they became of their own lack of holiness, and yet in the case of Jesus Christ there is not only the absence of sin, but from time to time declarations of His own holiness and meekness.

Christianity as a religion is unique in its claim to deliver from sin, and its claim is based on the sinlessness of Christ.

Either Jesus Christ was God, or else He is not a good man.

We find ourselves face to face with the problem of how to account for the Person, life, and character of Jesus of Nazareth. [T]he ordinary factors of life cannot possibly account for Him. Everything in Him is at once perfectly natural and yet manifestly supernatural. He is unique in the history of mankind.

He must be considered. He demands the attention of all true men. The supreme question today, as ever, is “What think ye of Christ?”
