forsake us . " But , secondly , our Lord came to establish this great truth , that lie was thfc beloved of the Father of mercies , and the * messenger of his grace to men . He was called the Son of God , the Christ
of God , and the sent of God ; and therefore , not God himself . He came not * to do his own will but the will of God , and to instruct men in all those doctrines of re" pejptance and holiness , which he fiirnself declares were not his own
but what he received from the Father . He is accordingly proclaimed , tfie Mediator between God and man , the man Christ Jesus . The apostle Peter there - fot * e styles him a man approved of God by many signs and
