LECTURE III. THE WEIGHT OF THE DIRECT EVIDENCE OF THE TRUTH OF THE
GOSPEL HISTOR Y. LECTURE III. STjOHN I. 14. And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as
of the onlv begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth. OUR
Christian hope claims to be a new life, having its root in the life
of a divine Person, who once revealed Himself on earth as man;
first living the divine life in our nature; then dying and rising
again; now living in heaven, as the divine yet human Son of God. We
want to ascertain whether the belief on which this hope depends,
practically as well as theoretically, is a reasonable one. To do
this, we have been tracing backward the story of the Christian
Church, as far as unquestionable evidence willenable us; that so we
may connect the life as it is now seen and felt, both in the
Christian Society and in the individual believer of our own day,
with the history in which it claims to have had its origin. The
process is surely a legitimate one. The existing fact is evidently
the outgrowth of a past history, which must explain a great deal of
it. We know that history well, and on abundant evidence, as far
back as (we will say) the last few years of the second century of
our era. We find in the history of the centuries between that point
and our own day, a great deal which has modified the fact with
which we are concerned, but nothing which can have created it. At
the furthest point to which direct and undisputed evidence will
carry us, the twofold fact which we are tracing, namely, that of
the Christian Society and the Christian life lived in that Society,
exists, the same essentially which we see it now. Its causes then
must lie yet further back. We know, from pagan historians and
statesmen, t...
