THE SON OF GOD BECOMES
MAN.
Sunday, Jan. 3—-John 1:1-18.
Golden Text:
The Word was made flesh,
dwelt among us. (John 1:14.)
If we had to lose all the books of
the Bible but one, we might well
choose the Gospel of John. It is a
rich privilege to have this Gospel for
our study during the next three
months.
John’s Gospel is the only book of
the sixty-six in the Bible that states
exactly why it was written. Let us
keep its purpose plainly before us
throughout the quarter. In John 20:
30, 31, the apostle says that the Lord
Jesus did “many other signs” (mir
acles) before His disciples that are
not recorded in this Gospel, “But
these are written, that ye might be
lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God; and that believing ye might
have life through His name.” Let us
pray earnestly that every unsaved soul
in our Sunday school class shall, be
cause of these lessons, be saved and
“have life through His name.”
The first verse of John and the first
verse of Genesis begin with the same
three words: “In the beginning.” Let
the class read aloud Genesis 1:1, then
John 1:1:.
What is meant by “J.n the begin
ning?” Evidently, from the Genesis
verse and from John 1:3, the begin
ning of creation. It was not the be
ginning of eternity, nor the beginning
of the life of God,
any beginning.
What is meant
which was in the
God,” and which “was God”? Verse
14 leaves us in no doubt; the Word
is the Son of God, eternally one with
the Father as God the Son, who be
came man, taking the human name
Jesus, when “the Word was made,
flesh, and dwelt among us.”
Jesus Christ is God. This fact
shines ottt in all its glory through
out the chapters of John’s Gospel.
But is the deity of Christ a theory, a
theology, an invention of John and
the other apostles, made by them af
ter Christ’s death to honor and exalt
their leader and hero, as some mod
ern writers would tell us?
The refutation of this crude andig-
norant criticism is found in the words
of Christ Himself. From His own
lips, as recorded in the other Gos
pels and in John, came Christ’s re-
peated declarations of His deity.
In a book written ten years ago by
the well-known journalist and. author,
Don Marquis, “The Dark Hours,” giv
ing a dramatic account of the day. of
the crucifixion, the author makes, a
significant statement. Noting that
there are some today who hold that,
“when Jesus spoke of His Father He
meant that God is the Father of all
of us in much the same way,” Mr.
Marquis says: “But the careful and
repeated examination of the Bible ne
cessary for this play has convinced
me that it was not His meaning. 1
cannot escape the conviction that He
intended to convey that Fie was the
Son of God in a sense special and
unique ... You may or may not be
lieve this, I may or may not believe
it—but I cannot evade the belief that
Jesus Himself believed it,” And the
author points out, and truly, that
Christ’s own claim to deity was the
reason for His crucifixion.
John goes on to show that Christ
is the Creator: “All things were made
by Him.” This is explicitly stated al
so in Colossians 1:16.
Christ also is Life and Light. There
is no life or light foi- men apart
from Him. This divine light “shineth
in darkness; and the darkness com
prehended (apprehended) it not."
That is, “The Gentile world was
wrapped in darkness so intense that
it was unable to perceive the light.”
Here is the tragedy of sin and un
belief: “He was in the world, and
the world knew Him not. He came
unto His own, and His own received
Him not.”
There is an interesting difference
in the meanings of the two expres
sions, “His oyn” in that last sen
tence, not shown in the English but
plainly brought out in the Greek. It
reads literally: “He came unto
own (things, or land), and His
(people) received Him not.”
The next verse is in "shining
trast. “1 ‘ '
con-
But as many as received, him,
to them gave Fie power to become
the sons of God, even to them that
believe on His name.” There is the
new birth, the second birth from
above, by faith in Christ as SavioUr.
Then John tells us that, when “the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us,” he and the other disciples
“beheld His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.” For Christ came
to this earth, not only to reveal God,
but also to make possible, by His
death and resurrection as the sinner’s
Substitute and Saviour, the full work-

the holy and
righteous law of God, which no sin
ful man can keep perfectly. There
fore God’s law condemns us; but
God’s grace saves us. Grace is “con
stantly set in contrast to law, under
which God demands,, righteousness
from man, as under grace He gives
righteousness to man. Law is con
nected with Moses and works; grace
with Christ and faith. Law blesses
the good; grace saves the bad. Law
demands that blessings be earned;
grace is a free gift.
Supplements Needed for Winter
Feeding
_____ U
Dr. O. McConkey of the Ontario
Agricultural College,, Guelph, strikes
a note of timely warning in a recent
bulletin When he says: "In the
drought areas of the province miner
al deficiency troubles with livestock
will be more acute during the winter
feeding period of 1936-37, because
phosphorus is not readily taken in by
plants during dry seasons. The win
ter feeds will contain less phosphorus
than usual, and .it will be a wise pre
caution to start feeding a recognized
mineral supplement early in the stable
feeding period and so prevent trouble
and loss.”
“Hay,” says Dr. McConkey, “is. the
most valuable crop grown in Ontario;
it covers 30% of the cultivated acre
age . . . Some farmers are produc
ing hay which is four times higher
in protein »haft others, and a consid
erable percentage of our hay is too
low in the essential minerals to main
tain healthy animals.”
There is no need to pay fancy pric
es Cor mineral supplements. The ne
cessary minerals, supplied in proper
form and balance, are not costly, with
the exception of iodine; but this el
ement, fortunately, is required in only
very small amount.
Friends, an old time wish sounds sincerest.
