Man's Sinless Perfection

MARY WELLINGTON GALE

"The Master demonstrated the Christ, or spiritual idea of sonship, which identified him as the Son of God"

Christ Jesus understood the divine law underlying the First Commandment, as is seen in what he said to one of the scribes, "The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment" (Mark 12:29, 30). Thus it was easy and natural for Jesus to obey what he called the second commandment, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
