Required reading
Systematic Theology Volume 1 by Charles Hodge (Available from Amazon or free here) - Conclude Chapter 7 (The divinity of Christ).
My summary
This week Hodge continues to teach us that Christ is God.
He examines specific passages from:
(i) John's gospel;
(ii) John's epistles;
(iii) John's revelation;
(iv) Paul's letters;
(v) Hebrews;
(vi) Peter's epistles;
(vii) James.
What grabbed me
I liked Hodge's summary of the chapter: 'Imperfect and unsatisfactory as this survey necessarily is, it is enough to prove not only that the Scriptures teach the divinity of Christ, but that Christianity as a religion consists in the love, worship, and service of the Lord Jesus, whose creatures we are, and to whom we belong by the still dearer relation of those whom He hath purchased with his own precious blood. '
Amen!
Next week's reading
