| "An now, O Father, glorify thou mw with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." John17:5 "But thou, Bethleham Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been of old, from everlasting."

| What does God declare Himself to be? |
| "Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." Isaiah 44:6 |
| |
| In what scripture does Christ adopt the same expression? |
| "And, behold, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." Revelation 22:12,13 |

| What scripture states that the Son of God was God manifested in the flesh? |
| "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:1, 14 |

| |
| Why was it necessary that He should be born thus, and partake of human nature? |
| "Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful highpriest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people." Hebrews 2:17 |
| |
| Having such a wonderful Saviour, what are we exhorted to do? |
| "Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Hebrews 4:14, 15 |
