View of the Christ

The Rev pr. C.. L. Scohcd, tho well
known Bible teacher. preached ia North
Baptist Church last night. the occasion be
ing the tive fth anniversary of tho Will
mington Bible Union. Dr. Scohsld is edit
or-n chief of the Bible Of 1911. the ter
centenary commemorative edition of the
authorized version of the Scriptures nr
Scohcld said There were seven places
where an instructed faith must look for
Christ We must see him. "as in the be
ginning with God" as incarnate In the
Virgins son. as on the cross, as risen
from the dead as exalted on tho right
side Of the Father. as indweling the be-
liever as coming again He said In part
This then. is the complete. the seven
fold view of Christ IL is our ambition
10 know Him. We shall not know Him.
even as we may know Him here and now .
unless We see Him I'm these seven ways.
We must see Him In the beginning with
God; we must see Him as lncarnate in
the virgins Son; we must see Him on
the cross We must see Him as risen from
the dead We must see Him exalted to the
right hand of the Father. we must see
Him as indwering the believer and we
must see Him as the one who is coming
again"
Continuing Dr Sconeld said. we must
sec Him as risen from the dead. It is not
enough that We believe i'm the continued
existence of the Lord Jesus after His
death on the cross we must also see Him
bodily resurrection. Men may say that
it makes little difference whether He rose
bodily or not They ask us why We should
lay SO much stress on the question of Iii,
body rising from the dead. But il Is NOR,
important than IL may seem. He said
| Destroy this temple and in three days
Will build it again And in this. the Scrip
ture explains, He was referring to TN
temple OF His body.
Now II He did not rise bodily fron
the dead then He was a self-decoivel
enthusiast; the very test that He him
self proposed failed Of accomplishment
