Excerpt from Twelve Sermons, Preached at Verulam Mission Church, Lambeth, London First, The subject: thy word. Secondly, The predicate thy word IS truth. And Lastly, The importance of reading, studying, and contending earnestly for the Word of God. Consider: First, The subject-matter of our proposition: thy word. Now, what are we to understand by Thy Word? The Son of God is expressly called the word by St. John (i. 1, In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. This Word, the Son of God, took upon Him human nature, and was manifested in the flesh. He is the brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of His Person. He is the Other Self of Jehovah, the Father's Equal and Fellow. He is the Son of God, the Word, the Christ over all, God blessed for ever. Christ is indeed the essential Word of God, and the essential Truth of God, but the whole context requires us to understand Thy Word is Truth as referring to the revealed will and word of God. The primary idea in our text, is the Gospel, but I shall take the words more comprehensively, as denoting the Scriptures generally, as they are known to us, and called by us, the word OF god.
