P.60 - §5 The bestowal of a Paradise Son on your
world was inherent in the situation of closing a planetary age; it was inescapable,
and it was not made necessary for the purpose of winning the favor of God.
This bestowal also happened to be the final personal act of a Creator Son
in the long adventure of earning the experiential sovereignty of his universe.
What a travesty upon the infinite character of God! this teaching that his
fatherly heart in all its austere coldness and hardness was so untouched
by the misfortunes and sorrows of his creatures that his tender mercies
were not forthcoming until he saw his blameless Son bleeding and dying upon
the cross of Calvary! |
