“GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST”

December 25 "For unto you m born thus day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." —Luke t:LL GOD’S promise that the Seed of Abraham should ultimately bless all natious has influenced thought the world over, but particularly amongst those nations living contiguous to Abraham’s home and north ward and westward from there, in the directions in which the message of Divine favor has gone. At first the Jews thought of this promise as being ftil filled in them as a nation—that, without assistance from on High, they could approve themselves to God through obedience to the Law Covenant, and that then, as instructors of the world, they would teaChall nations to keep that Divine Law, and thus bring the world to the blessed state of perfection, Divine, favor and life everlasting. This hope was crushed out as they found themselves unable to keep

the Law, going down into death, instead of attaining to perfection of life. Even Moses, the special servant of God, could not, and did not, attain the blessing of the Law. Then God made them-the promise of some better thing—of a greater Mediator and of a more successful Covenant through that Mediator. The Mediator of the New Covenant (Jer.

31:31-34) was to he greater than Moses: as he himself declared, “A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from amongst your brethren like unto me (but greater)— him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you. And it shall come to pass that the soul that will not obey that Prophet shall be destroyed from amongst the people.” (Acts 3: 22. 23 ) “The Desire of All Nations” As surrounding nations and those afar off heard of Israel’s hopes—that to them would come a great Savior, Deliverer, who would bless them and exalt them in the world and through them bless all peoples, the beauty of the thought took root in every direction. Messiah was more or less looked for under various names, and the glories of his Kingdom were pictured by heathen poets as the Golden Age. Thus it happened that when our Lord was born, when he was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, “All men were in expectation of him”-not Jcv-: S , but of the promised Messiah, whom Jesus was. Thus it was that wise men in the East were attracted to see and to worship him that was born King of the Jews. Thus it was alsb that during Jesus’ ministry certain Greeks came tothC disciples saying, “Sirs, we would see Jesus.” They had heard of him and recognized tha| in some respects bis magic power implied a relationship with the long-expected Messiah. And so it was with the multitudes of Palestine. They heard: they listened. They said. Is this he? The rulers said. No. this is not the Messiah. Then the people asked. When Messiah cometb can he do greater works than this man? Never man spake like this man! Nevertheless, there Were few ready to receive him, even amongst his own—only “Israelites indeed;” to whom, because of worthiness of heart, God specially revealed his Son: This Was in harmony with the prophecy of old. “The secret of the Lord is with them that reverence him and he will show them his Covenant.” (Psa. 25:14.) As again it is written. “I will give him for a Covenant of the people.” (Isa. 49:8.) Neither Jews nor Greeks nor Persian wise men knew to expect that Messiah would first appear to offer himself, through obedience to the Truth, a living sacrifice for sinners. None of them knew that a long period must elapse from the time when Messiah would be the man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, of whom the people would be ashamed, until he would appear in power and great glory to establish hi 3 Empire under the whole heavens, in fulfillment of the prophetic picture of Daniel 2:34: 7:13.. 14-27 ,Few, understand God’s great secret or “mystery” hidden during past ages and dispensations (Col. l :2C.k thnt during this long period of the Gospel Age a saintly “little flock” would be 1 selected from amongst men to be Messiah's Bride, audi Joint-heir with him in his Messianic reign.

Heuce it was necessary that Jesus should not only consecrate his life to the Divine service and be anointed with the holy Spirit, but that, sacrificially, he should lay dowm his life, even unto death—even the ; death of the cross.

the Prophets and Gospels and Epistles shall be fulfilled. “A Savior and a Groat On®" We have seen bow the Son of God attained his Priestly Oliice. for the sacrifice of himself; how he was anointed thereto, and also anointed to be the great King, and how he has been merely waiting for the due time for his Kingdom to begin. Now we inquire as to the force and significance of the word Savior, and how he saves his people from their sins! In the Arabic. Savior signifies life giver. The Redeemer, glorified as the antitypieal Melchisedec, “a priest upon his throne.” is to tie the Savior or lifegiver of the race, for whose sin and because of whose condemnation he

died—“the Just for the unjust, to bring us back to God." some during this Age and some duriug the period of his Messianic .. reign. Gradually he. with his saintly Bride class, will uplift humanity from sin and death to righteousness and life eternal and will destroy all who refuse the blessing In the Second Death, from which there will be no hope of recovery. . > But th“ Christ, the Savior of Glory.
