Christianity is a remedial scheme, divinely proposed and revealed, offering the pardon of sin and reconciliation with God, through the mediation and atonement of the incarnate Son of God. This Mediator is known in the Scriptures as the Word of God which was from the beginning, and was God; the Word made flesh; God manifest in the flesh; the man Christ Jesus; the Lord’s Christ; the Christ of God—not a Christ, but the Christ. Kings, prophets and priests were Christs, but not one of them all was styled the Christ, by way of exception and eminence, but Jesus. He was “the Christ,” “that Christ!” “the Christ of God,” anointed, set apart, qualified and commissioned to carry out and administer the mediatorial scheme, the redemption of a lost world.
