To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The condescension of God in taking on Him the form of a Man w^as the crowning proof of His ineffable love to our race. This is its spiritual rationale, and the flower of its beauty. " Great is the mystery of godliness [which means here, not a rule of life but the fact of the Incarnation] ; He was manifested in the flesh. " ^ 3. The Incarnation under its form of sacrifice also throws a lurid light on the nature of sin as an essentially evil thing which had separated God and Man, and had made the... unspeakable sacrifice necessary implied in Christ's Incarnation and Atonement. We have already to say that this broad and effectual severance was necessary, not only for the old dispensation, but for the new; not only for the exclusion of idolatry in all its forms, but for the establishment of the Incarnation. A marriage would be no marriage unless the individuality of the parties to it were determinate and invincible. The Christian dogma of the two natures in one person would be m no sense distinctive if it had been habitual in the preparatory dispensation, as in some of the religions outside, for man properly so called to pass into proper Deity.
