THE ONENESS OF THE WORD

HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

“We beheld His glory.” I trust I can utter this personal note, and witness this good confession.

There is the glory of my Prophet. Who teaches like Jesus? Not Buddha, nor Confucius, nor Mohammed, nor all the princes of philosophy. He shows me my sin — and then He shows me His salvation. He tells me of God’s truth, God’s love, and God’s sweet and sovereign will. He unveils the path I must take, the tasks of my life, the riches of my future. His words are wonderful.

There is the glory of my Priest. Once he offered Himself for me; He laid down His body and soul on the altar of death, both Victor and Victim. And so He redeemed me. Now He is my Advocate with the Father, pleading His own fulfilment of all laws. And God bends always to such reasoning and to such a Reasoner. What a High Priest I have!

HONOUR

There is the glory of my King. He rules within my soul; and if, as one has said, there are both a Cain and an Abel there, a demon and an angel — He conquers the demon and seats the angel in the citadel. The soul is His microcosm — but He is the Prince of a great universe too. He rules over all men, all circumstances, all events, for my well-being. He performs in me and for me, His own good work. There is no King so omnipotent as the Lord Almighty.

I behold His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
