he should have been the recipient OF
his blessings and his fayOrs5 and
that when he refused TO submit TO
the Creators authority he should
have been the recipient OF his curses
and disfavor. But isn't that just the
way God has dealt with MANI As
long as he remained loyal he was
blessed, but becoming disloyal he was
cursed, and human reason says 10 was
right
Thus we find. that everything God
did for man prior to the time re-
demptive was needed, was in strict
accord with human reason
Man Is RebeIIious.
Let Us now look at the redemptive
plan: Man, the creature has refused
to submit TO the law OF his Creator.
and is now living in a state OF rebel
lion; sin has separated God and man
and has set the two at variance.
What course would human reason
suggest as necessary TO pursue in
order 20 effect a reconciliation be-
tween two parties thus set at var
lance? Evidently the first thing that
human reason would suggest, would
be a mediator to act between the
parties at variance. But. isn't that
just the way God proceeded with his
redemptive pIan2 Christ came &c
serve as a mediator between God and
rebellious man. Hence we read.
There Is one God and one mediator
between God and man. the nan
Christ Jesus. and God was in Christ
to serve as mediator between him
self and rebelliOus man. IS in per
feet harmony with human reason
Its Just the course that human rea-
son says should have been followed
Christ. the Mediator.
But human reason demands that a
mediator. in order TO effect a per-
manent peace between two parties
at variance, must have the welfare
OF both at heart. In this respect,
Christ, our mediator measures I'd to
the fun standard OF human reason
for the welfare Of both God and man
weighed heavily upon his heart.
Again, human reason demands that
the people TO be reconciled must
have faith in the mediator. Gods
faith in Christ was made manifest
when he said: This is my beloved
Son. IN whom I am well pleased"
and. IN order that man might have
faith in him. he brought with him
his credentials from heaven. The
miracles which he wrought were the
credentials which proved TO the peO-
