The "lords" of paganism were mediators between men and the more remote "gods",
and this statement becomes exactly parallel with that of I Tim. 2: 5:--
"For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ."
The question of the Deity of Christ is not in view. It is the "Mediator" and the "Man"
that is in question. None of these things, nor all that Scripture says concerning Christ as
the Servant or the Son, the Sent One or the Sacrifice, the Shepherd or the Sufferer, can
have the remotest influence upon the revealed facts of Scripture that this same Christ is
also "The Great God", "The High God", "The Almighty God", "The Creator", and
"Jehovah".
It is essential to our redemption and to the purpose of reconciliation that Christ shall
be man. It is also the continual teaching of Scripture that He was God. Faith believes the
complete statement. The mere multiplying of examples cannot make the doctrine more
true nor more plain. I am not aware that any passage has been passed over that would
cause any alteration of the doctrine I put before you. If you do find such a passage please
write to me, and I will gladly consider it in The Berean Expositor.
