Gods Message to US by His Son.
was the subject of Evangelist Cobb s
sermon at new assembly on Drinker
street. 1t was based upon Hebrews H.
The speaker said in part: Every
message God has sent to us is worthy
of the closest attention. He has never
spoken except for our good We are
never so happy as when we are obey
ing Gods voice. Our text teaches that
God has often spoken to man, at diff
ferent times and in various ways. He
spoke to our first parents in the gar
den 5000 years ago. How happy they
would have been if they had obeyed
him. God spoke to Moses, to Abraham
to Jacob and many of the patriarchs
But in these later days he has
| spoken unto us by his son. Now we
may learn something about the i'm
portance of this message by the char
acter of the one chosen to bring it from
| the skies. The object of the episte
| to the Hebrews is to show the exalted
| character of Christ and to warn us
| not to reject His message. This is
| done to point out that whereas God
| spoke in time past to the angels and
| prophets He now speaks to us by His
SON."
