105. Christ Declared God

“He Hath Declared Him” Joh_1:18

“Six-years-old tip-toed softly up to the little low crib where one of the world’s very latest hopes was lying throned and swathed in the coverlets that love had sewn for its coming,” writes Collier’s Weekly. “Big brother’s face was gravely intent, his eyes bright and shining. He stooped far over and gazed down at that wrinkled, peevish bit of a face.

“‘Now, baby brother,’ he whispered into one tiny red ear half hid by the clustering black hair, ‘tell me about God before you forget.’ “Before the world closes in on the new life you have brought to our greying days. Before work and money and clothes, and what people say, can matter to you. Before these earthly things have their way, and you lose touch with that eternal mystery and glory of which you were a part only such a little while ago.

“‘Quickly, brother, before you forget!’ If only we grown-ups could remember. There was One once who did.”

“There was One who did” tell us about God, and who did not “forget,” and that One was Christ. He did not forget—
