Xii.
I have thus dwelt upon several of the main doctrines ofChristianity--namely, those of Sin and Sacrifice, the Eucharist, theSaviour, the Second Birth, and Transfiguration--as showing that they areby no means unique in our religion, but were common to nearly all thereligions of the ancient world. The list might be much further extended, but there is no need to delay over a subject which is now very generallyunderstood. I will, however, devote a page or two to one instance, whichI think is ve...ry remarkable, and full of deep suggestion.
There is no doctrine in Christianity which is more reverenced by theadherents of that religion, or held in higher estimation, than that Godsacrificed his only Son for the salvation of the world; also that sincethe Son was not only of like nature but of the SAME nature with theFather, and equal to him as being the second Person of the DivineTrinity, the sacrifice amounted to an immolation of Himself for the goodof mankind. The doctrine is so mystical, so remote, and in a sense soabsurd and impossible, that it has been a favorite mark through thecenturies for the ridicule of the scoffers and enemies of the Church;and here, it might easily be thought, is a belief which--whether it beconsidered glorious or whether contemptible--is at any rate unique, andpeculiar to that Church.
