JULY 1ST, 1895

I look upon Philippians 2: 6 as the place taken by Christ in the fact of assuming a servant’s form; it was, so to say, an act of mind in taking the servant’s form. I really prefer the authorised version, “He made himself of no reputation”. It was not only that He assumed the form but the mind suited the form.... — - accuses me of not holding the real humanity of Christ, because I will not accept his idea of a complete man, ‘spirit, soul and body’, distinct from Deity. He seems to me to have no idea of the Son becoming Man and giving a spirit to manhood, in fact of the incarnation.
