Unto Us a Son is Given

The fact that the Son, the Divine and Eternal 2nd Person of the blessed Trinity, was given to fallen sinners of Mankind is a topic of wonder and joy. It will never be forgotten and it ought to be gloried in by every Christian. That the Father of glory should purpose it, and that the Eternal Son of God would agree to assume human nature with a real body of flesh and blood and a reasonable soul, is a matter which we should often think about, even though we cannot comprehend all the greatness of it. So this afternoon what we want to do is to think about the giving of the Son by the Father, to be our Savior. We want to think, first, about the fact that the Son who was given is the Only-Begotten of the Father. 2ndly- We want to think about how the Son of God is manifestly different from the angels. And then 3rdly – We want to think about the fact that in all believers the Son is born or begotten in them. What a great salvation we have been given. Let us ask ourselves whether we have been given this greatest of gifts. And let us see to it that we do not neglect such a great salvation, having received it.
