Excerpt from A Summary of Christian Doctrine
This title, as even a hasty glance through the Gospels will show, is Jesus' habitual designation for Himself. Scholars are very much divided in opin ion as to the definite origin and precise meaning of this title. When we examine the passages in which it occurs, we find that they divide themselves into two classes, one referring to all the experiences in which Jesus is brought into close relation with men, and the other to the position of Sovereignty which Jesus is to occupy after the fulfilment of His mission. The title, accordingly, without doubt, expresses the consciousness which Jesus has of Him self as Redeemer of men, and it informs us' that He who is to carry out that great vocation must be entirely one with men, must be so thoroughly akin to them that He can enter into their experiences, and hear their burdens, even that last awful burden of their sin. Through this sin bearing, He is exalted to a position in the realm of spiritual realities which will enable Him to carry on His redeeming and per fecting activities with rmpect to all His kindred of mankind.
