"The
Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." --1 John 4:14
It is a sweet thought that Jesus Christ did not come forth without His
Father's permission, authority, consent, and assistance. He was sent of the
Father, that He might be the Saviour of men. We are too apt to forget that,
while there are distinctions as to the persons in the Trinity, there are no
distinctions of honour. We too frequently ascribe the honour of our salvation,
or at least the depths of its benevolence, more to Jesus Christ than we do the
Father. This is a very great mistake. What if Jesus came? Did not His Father
send Him? If He spake wondrously, did not His Father pour grace into His lips,
that He might be an able minister of the new covenant? He who knoweth the
Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost as he should know them, never setteth one
before another in his love; he sees them at Bethlehem, at Gethsemane, and on
Calvary, all equally engaged in the work of salvation. O Christian, hast thou
put thy confidence in the Man Christ Jesus? Hast thou placed thy reliance
solely on Him? And art thou united with Him? Then believe that thou art united
unto the God of heaven. Since to the Man Christ Jesus thou art brother, and
holdest closest fellowship, thou art linked thereby with God the Eternal, and
"the Ancient of days" is thy Father and thy friend. Didst thou ever
consider the depth of love in the heart of Jehovah, when God the Father
equipped His Son for the great enterprise of mercy? If not, be this thy day's
meditation. The Father sent Him! Contemplate that subject. Think how Jesus
works what the Father wills. In the wounds of the dying Saviour see the love of
the great I AM. Let every thought of Jesus be also connected with the Eternal,
ever-blessed God, for "It pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him
to grief."
