From Our Exchanges

with contributions from George H. Gilbert, William H. Bown, W. E. Orchard

[George H. Gilbert, Ph.D., D.D., in The Biblical World]

We have the great and comforting assurance that the distinctive greatness of Jesus presupposes no elements that are not present in some degree in every human spirit. That greatness is the goal set before his followers, not in mockery, as essentially unattainable by them, but in divine hope and confidence. This goal they are ever to approach, and in approaching they find redemption and peace. What Jesus experienced of God and love, we may experience in some measure, and through that experience we come consciously into spiritual life. The greatness of Jesus is a prophecy of the ultimate greatness of humanity. It is not a fact to make man despair, but to breath into him an undying inspiration.

[The Watchman-Examiner]
