London Lectures of 1907

PART I
64/96

They are men, and only God as we are God; the only difference being that They have God more manifest in Them than He is in us.

They also in Their day were weak and foolish; They also strove and struggled, as we strive and struggle now; They also failed, as we are failing now; They also blundered, as we are blundering now; and They have risen above it all, strength after strength revealed in Them, wisdom and power and love growing ever more and more divine.

And what They have done, you and I can do.

For They are truly but the first fruits of humanity, the promise of the harvest, and not something strange, miraculous, and far away.

The Christian clings to the manhood of Jesus for the reason that as "He hath suffered, being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted." And it is a true instinct, a wise faith, for it is by coming into touch with such links between humanity and God, that you and I in time will become divine.
