Then the poor, degraded, ignorant outcast at The Army penitent-
form in the slums of London or Chicago, who never heard of a
creed, and the ebony African and dusky Indian, who never saw the
inside of a Bible, may have Christ revealed in him, and know by
the revelation of the Holy Spirit that Jesus is Lord.
"It pleased God... to reveal His Son in me," wrote Paul (Gal. i.
15, 16); and again, "Christ liveth in me" (Gal. ii. 20); and
again, "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again
until Christ be formed in you" (Gal. iv. 19); as though Christ is
to be spiritually formed in the heart of each believer by the
operation of the Holy Spirit, as He was physically formed in the
womb of Mary by the same Spirit (Luke i. 35); and again, "The
mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but
now is made manifest to His saints,... which is Christ in you,
the hope of glory" (Col. i. 26, 27); "That Christ may dwell in
your hearts by faith" (Eph. iii. 17); "Examine yourselves,
whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not
your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be
reprobates" (2 Cor. xiii. 5)?
"At that day," said Jesus, when making His great promise of the
Comforter to His disciples, "At that day ye shall know that I am
in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you" (John xiv. 20); and
again, in His great prayer, He said: "I have declared unto them
Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast
loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
