THE GRAND PURPOSE OF THE BIBLE.

No careful reader of its pages will fail to perceive that although it contains history, poetry, laws, prophecies, precepts, doctrines, and promises, yet all seem to crystallize around one grand central truth. As the various branches of a tree are supported by one trunk, so all parts of the Bible grow out of and depend upon the all-pervading truth, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself. To this center all converges, from it all radiates. It is the sun of the entire system.
