Evangelist T. / NIeachom had for
his theme on Sunday morninp "The
Pre-. .Emlnence of Jesus"
His text was taken from Colossians
l:1S. "And He is the Head of the
Body the Church. Who is the Begin
ming tbe First.born From the Dead.
That in All Things He Might Have the
Pre.eminence."
Jesus is pre.eminent in the fulfill.
ment of prophecy. The marvellous man.
ner i'm which He fulfilled all the pro.
.phesies concerning Him. is sufficient
proof of His divine son.ship. There
are 762 distinct bits of prophecy
found in the old Testament concern.
ing the Emmanuel who was TO come
Some of these prophesies were writ.
ten 900 Years before Jesus was born,
some 500 years before. some 1000
years before Christ was born in Beth.
Iehem.
II cannot be Dossible that an those
prophetic statements could be ful.
filled with such detailed exactness. in
one brief life limited to thirtv.three
years. by accident. Surely Almighty
God, bv His wonderful and wise provi
dence directed events and caused even
the "wrath of men to praise Him" and
thus firmly establish the fact for all
thinking men throughout all time that
Jesus Christ is the son of the living
God"
Again Jesus is pre-. eminent as teach
er. lie thought moi as the scribe and
pharisees.
He DISPLAYED great originality both
as TO the matter and the manner of His
teaching. There is so little originality
shown bv teachers Of the present time.
II is hard TO present an original pro.
position or an old one in a new and
original way. But Jesus was master
teacher and presented the greatest
truths ever spoken i'm an original and
emphatic way. He plorified the seven
fundamental truths from which proceed
all our thinking MS only a divine teach.
ar could
The seven great basic truths that
underlv all intelligence and linowl.
edge are these.
The fatherhood Of God
. The brotherhood of man.
q The relation of mind TO matter.
The nature and necessity of
growth
/ The sanctity of the marriage re.
lation and the home.
4 The necessity of n righteous,
spiritual life
r The Immortality of the soul.
Jesus emphasized all these and gave
them added glory for all time.
