Lesson x. Gods Message BY His Son.
Heb. l. Is; 2. IA

LcsSoH A. UOu ) message by HIS Sol
Heb. 1. Is; 2. Ia
God, who at sundry times and in dive
manners spake in time past unto the fathers b
the prophets.
Hath in these last days spoken unto us b
His Son. whom he hath appointed heir of a
things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Who being the brightness of his glory, an
the express image of his person and uphoidin
all things by the word of his power, when h
had by himself pursed our sins, sat down O
the right hand of The Majesty on high;
Being made so much better Than the angels
as he hath by inheritance obtained more ez
| cellent name than they.
For unto which of the angels said he at an
time. Thou art my Son, this day have I begot
ten thee? And again will be to him a Father
| and he shall be to me Son?
And again when he bringeth in the firstbe
got en- into the world, he saith And let all tn
angels worship him.
And of the angles he saith, Who maketl
his angels spirits, and his ministers flame O
fire.
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, {
God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre ofrighteous
ness is the sceptre of thy kindom.
l Therefore ought to give the more earnes
heed to the things which we have heard, lest a
any time we should let them slip.
For If the word spoken by angels was stead
fast, and every transgression and disobedienct
received just recompense of reward;
How shall we escape, if we neglect, so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken
by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by
them that heard him;
God also bearing them witness, both with
signs and wonders, and with divers miracles
and gifts of Holy Ghost, according to his own
will?

The great lesson sought to be conveyed
in these passages is the Divinity of Jesus,
or the full manifestation of Gods own
image in the person of his son. The in
spired writer teaches that, though the
Heavenly Father spake to the ancestors,
or "fathers," in another age of the world
and manifested Himself unto them by
and through the Prophets, the full,
Gospel plan of the salvation of
mankind was not to be until the advent
of Jesus into the world. The history of
the Savior's coming and going is beauti-
fully portrayed in the third passage of
the Lesson. He came as the personal
the impersonation, of
the ills of humanity for
sake; fulfilling, without a
the great mission of bringing
going the greatest physical tortures, and
when poor, frail, sinful humanity had eX-
lausted its ingenuity in heaping tortures
and indignities upon the uncomplaining
body, grandly rising, triumphant over sin
md death, and taking His place at the
light hand of the Father, where he pleads
or, and delights to bless, humanity.
The Lord Jesus is better than the an
gels, for God hath declared that this is
ny beloved Son, in whom 1 am well
pleased" He is nearest the Throne of
in His Kingdom. The
n the sixth passage relates to the second
coming of Christ into the world, when
He shall come surrounded with angels
ind miniStering spirits. Christ is to
eign forever, and His Throne is to be in
he hearts of men as we'll as in the man
lions of the skies. His messages to man
lind are direct communications from
Tod to His creatures. We ought to pay
earnest heed to His teachings.
We are creatures endowed with under
standing. 1t is given US to know our
Christian duty, and understand the great
privileges and opportunities we have in
md through the loving mission of Jesus
lpon earth. Knowing our duty and do
ng it not; knowing our great obligation
o the Father and Son, and needing not;
that the safety OF danger of the
oul depends upon our acceptance or re-
ection of that Gospel which we know to
)e the salvation of the human family,
md living on in carelessness as to the re-
ult of our neglect, we may we'll ask "how
hall we eScape?" The Father has done
III for US that we could in reason ask.
The way Of salvation has been opened up
o us, and pointed out to us by no less a
,eing than the Son of God, who came
,earing the instructions of the Father to
III His creatures. The Son manifested
he Divinity of His character and powers
~ the working of miracles among men.
Nothing which we could in reason ask the
Father to do for our salvation, has been
reelected 1t is for us to build our own
Christian Characters up, through the
beauty of his teachings, until the life is
made beautiful in time, and the soul safe
n eternity.
