“God Himself became a Man, to give mankind a concrete, definite, tangible idea
of what kind of Person to think of when we think of God. God is like Jesus.
Jesus was God incarnate in human form. His appearance on earth is the Central
Event of all history. The Old Testament sets the stage for it. The New Testament
describes it. As a man, He lived the most strangely Beautiful Life ever known.
He was the Kindest, Tenderest, Gentlest, most Patient, most Sympathetic man that
ever lived. He Loved people. He hated to see people in trouble. He loved to
Forgive. He loved to Help. He wrought marvelous miracles to feed hungry people.
For relieving the suffering He forgot to take food for Himself. Multitudes,
weary, pain-ridden, and heart-sick, came to Him, and found healing and relief.
It is said of Him, and of no other, that if all the deeds of Kindness that He
did were written, the world would not contain the books. That is the kind of man
Jesus was. That is the kind of Person God is. Then: He Died, on the Cross, to
take away the Sin of the world, to become the Redeemer and Saviour of man. Then:
He Rose from the Dead: is Alive Now: not merely an historical character, but a
Living Person: the Most Important Fact of History, and Most Vital Force in the
world today.” —Theologian, Henry H. Halley (1874-1965)
