to know God, we are to study the Son. Jesus is the great Example, the
Revealer of the Father. He is the Father's representative in form and in
action. If Jesus, the Son, is meek and lowly, so also is the Father; if
He is wise and good and forgiving, so is the Father; if the Son is
long-suffering and slow to anger, yet not afraid to denounce sin and
call to account the wicked, so likewise may we represent the Father. All
the noble attributes which we find in the Son exist in perfectness in
the Father.

"Picture this noble Son, the risen Redeemer, my friends, after His
battle with death and His victory over the grave! In the splendid glory
of His divine manhood, all power both in heaven and earth in His hand,
He stands as _the_ shining figure of the ages. Why? Because He is 'God
With Us.'"

There was perfect stillness in the group of listeners.

"Thus the Father has shown Himself to us. There is no need for any of us
to plead ignorance of our Divine Parent. The way is marked out, the
path, though at times difficult, is plain. The Son does the will of the
Father. 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work,' said Jesus. 'The Son
can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do; for what
things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.' We, then,
are to follow Christ, as He follows the Father. Isn't that plain?"

"Do I understand," asked one, "that you believe God to be in the form of
man?"

"Rather that man is in the form of God, for 'God created man in His own
image.'"
