THE DESCENT OF GOD
THE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE
Much lias been said and written
from nil evolutionary point of view, of
the “A: cent of Man." That is tracing
the evolutionary process in nature of
the development of man from the
lowest forms of life.
But strictly
speakin
this is not the ascent of
man, lur man does not appear until
the end of line. And here science has
to stop, for beyond this lies only the
realm of the unseen with which
scleno has nothing to do. The as
cent of man does not begin until he is
raised above the realm of the seen
into tin unseen, which is the province
of religion. Anil it Is the special func
tion of the Christian religion to <le-
■cribe and demonstrate this ascent.
Other religions at best, only do this
In a sort of Indirect wny, and very in
completely.
But the teaching of Christianity Is
that man can ascend, but this ascent
Is dependent and conditioned on the
previous "Descent of Clod." In the
words of the Christmas hymn:
"God comes down
That Man may rise;
Lilted by Him to the skies,
Christ Is Sou of tnau that we
Boas of God in Ilim may be."
This Is the central truth of the
Christ hi faith, which declares its b e
lief "in one Lord Jesus Christ, the
only I gotten Son of God;—God of
God, Li .lit of Light, Very God of Very
God;- Who for us men and for our
salvation came down from heaven,
ami was Incarnate by the Holy Ghost
of tile Virgin Mary, ami was made

This declaration of belief Is made
dally throughout the world, wherever
n Christian priest stands ministering
at the altar. From the rising up of
the sun unto the going down thereof,
it is most solemnly affirmed In the
presence of angels and men.
And whatever differences on other
point
may exist among orthodox
bodh el Christians, they unite in this
belief, that Jesus Christ Is God mani
fest in the flesh.
Tile opening words of the prologue
to thi
ospei according to 8t. John,
unequn hi ably declares: "In the tie
gliinir was the Word, and the Word
was wall God. and the Word was God
And lie Word was made flesh, and
