Who was Jesus? Jesus was the Son of God, conceived by the Virgin Mary. He was the mediator between divinity and humanity. He revealed that Life which is the light of men. He was the Word which became flesh, and dwelt among men, even the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and Truth.
John was the forerunner of Jesus; that is, he came to prepare the way. Behold the glory that followed, through the workings of Jesus.
The Christian Scientists of today are already preparing the way for the spiritual Christ, who will be recognized everywhere through Spirit; and everywhere the afflicted and Satan-bound can touch him, by turning toward the light. "Now we see in a glass, darkly," but then the darkness will be gone.
