[Songs in the Night - February 11]
And the Logos became flesh, and dwelt among us. John 1:14 (Diaglott)
BECAUSE all of the human family were children
of Adam and sharers in his death sentence, no man
could give to God a ransom for his brother. (Psalm 49:7)
God so shut up the matter that Adam and his
race could not have been redeemed except by the
finding of a perfect man who would be willing voluntarily
to die on their behalf.
It was because there was
no such man that God arranged with the Logos, his
Only Begotten, that he should become a man and be the
Redeemer of the race—Adam and all his children. Z'13-347 R5352:4 (Hymn 62)
