our human nature, corporeal and mental.

And I think I shall best bring out the meaning and worth of the name
by putting a few of these instances before you.

For example, more than once we find phrases like these: 'we believe
that _Jesus_ died,' 'having therefore boldness to enter into the
holiest by the blood of _Jesus_,' and the like--which emphasise His
death as the death of a man like ourselves, and bring us close to the
historical reality of His human pains and agonies for us. '_Christ_
died' is a statement which makes the purpose and efficacy of His
death more plain, but '_Jesus_ died' shows us His death as not only
the work of the appointed Messiah, but as the act of our brother man,
the outcome of His human love, and never rightly to be understood if
His work be thought of apart from His personality.

There is brought into view, too, prominently, the side of Christ's
sufferings which we are all apt to forget--the common human side of
His agonies and His pains. I know that a certain school of preachers,
and some unctuous religious hymns, and other forms of composition,
dwell, a great deal too much for reverence, upon the mere physical
aspect of Christ's sufferings. But the temptation, I believe, with
most of us is to dwell too little upon that,--to argue about the
death of Christ, to think about it as a matter of speculation, to
regard it as a mysterious power, to look upon it as an official act
of the Messiah who was sent into the world for us; and to forget that
He bore a manhood like our own, a body that was impatient of pains
and wounds and sufferings, and a human life which, like all human
lives, naturally recoiled and shrank from the agony of death.
