...When it is realized that His calmness and beauty shone out from a back-ground of such wildness, how can it be argued that Christ was no more than the product of His times? How could His life have dawned in such darkness if it had not been from God...

We have not used the word of God in these lectures till now, but the action of the Eternal Power is now seen to be so personal that we cannot refrain from the word. Since God helps reasonable desire we must make...
