Excerpt from Lectures on Theology, Vol. 2 of 2 Predictions of the Messiah prior to the Appearance of Christ - Their Import - Evidence that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah. Ive have seen that Jesus Christ is the Surety and Mediator of the New Covenant; and, in speaking of him in these characters, it was impossible to avoid references to the mysterious constitution of his person. This, however, is a subject so important, as to be entitled to distinct consideration, both be cause it is the foundation upon which the whole scheme of redemption de pends, and because some men of corrupt minds have, in all ages, and in various forms, exerted themselves to overthrow it. But, before we enter upon it, it will be proper to attend to the notices which were given of the Saviour to the church prior to his manifestation in the flesh, and then to show that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah.
