Men Are Adopted' by God THE GOSPEL for the second Sunday after Easter proclaims the with Him, in a higher sense than we are one with Adam, our earth intimate relationship between Christ and mankind. Jesus says that ly progenitor. He is the Good Shepherd, knowing His own in the same intimate way Even withoi^t the Incarnation, God could have adopted us as His that God the Father knows Him and He knows the Father. He is not children and mkde us brothers of His natural Son, by conferring someone whose only business with the sheep is that He is appointed grace on us. But without the Incarnation this dignity would have to guard them. They are so much a part of Him that He gives His lacked a basis in us, and would have been less perfect, because too life for them. high above us. Whence comes this intimacy? It is due to the assumption by the BY THE INCARNATION, however, we are all in truth embodied Word of God of our human nature, whereby we become truly one in the persons of God’s Son and have become His members. God looks upon us no longer as situated upon the low level proper to our own persons; He sees us in His Son, and His Son in us. He holds us substantially united to His Son, and kin to Him. That is what Jesus meant when He said: “My sheep are known to Me and know Me; just as I am known to My Father, and know Him” (John x, 14-15). Because of Christ our sonship is no longer a mere T ly adoptive sonship, since we receive it from God the Father not as strangers but as kinsfolk, as members of the only begotten Son, and can lay claim to it as a right. He is opr Father in somewhat the way that He is Father of the God-Man in His humanity. We are in some sense one single son of the Father in the Son and with the Son. \ Encourage Spiritual Like a huge magnet, the Person of the God-Man mysteriously dominates the whole race and pervades it with His personality, thus men belong to Christ more than to themselves, and in a large sense form Formation of Children one person with Him somewhat as Christ’s own hum By Rev.
