material thought of Him; but nevertheless essentially Man. When it became necessary to manifest Himself to men, would it not be natural for Him to enter into the form of a man on all its planes of manifestation?
What would be the distinction between God manifesting Himself in the form of Jesus Christ and manifesting Himself through any other man? That is our problem, but we are near to its answer in comprehending in what man proper consists. We believe that the correct answer is found in the difference between the receptacle known to men as Jesus Christ,—the man Jesus of Nazareth,—and other receptacles of life from God in the form of men. We feel that, with the explanations about to be made, the difficulties involved in the question, How can Jesus be both God and Man? will disappear.
