1. Ans. It is the greatest discovery of mans misery and inability, to save himself therefrom, that ever was made in the World. Must the Son of God himself come down from Heaven? or can there be no Salvation? can not one Sinner save another? cannot man by any means redeem his Brother, nor give to God a Ransom for him? cannot an Angel do it? cannot all the Angels do it? no; Christ must come and die to do it.
2dly. It is the greatest discovery of the Love of God, that ever the World had. For god SO to love the World, as to send his Son! For God SO to commend his love to the World, as to send it to them in the Blood of his Son! Amazing Love! John 3. 16. Rom. 5. 8.
3dly. It is the greatest discovery of the Condescension of Christ that ever the World had.
