“The resurrection then is the Divine seal upon the work of Jesus,” (Page 362)
“The resurrection is the central and supreme declaration of this fact” (Page 363)
“The stupendous and ever manifest combination in the Personality of Jesus of essential Deity, and proper humanity, is totally without sufficient cause, the moment men have ceased to have faith in the Scripture account of the miraculous conception. That initial miracle cannot be finally explained, but neither can the origin of any form of life be finally explained in the last analysis.” (Page 71)
“The union in a Person of God and man is something undreamed of, unknown, until it broke upon the world as a fact in human history.” (Page 80)
“Through the God-man, Deity takes hold upon humanity. Through the God-man, humanity takes hold upon Deity.” (Page 90)

About George Campbell Morgan
George Campbell Morgan (1863-1945), a contemporary of Rodney “Gipsy” Smith, preached his first sermon at age 13. He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904-1919 and then from 1933-1943, pausing for a brief period between those timeframes to work at Biola in Los Angeles. In 1939, he began to mentor Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who would eventually become his successor. Morgan’s essay entitled The Purposes of the Incarnation are included in a collection called The Fundamentals, a set of 90 essays that is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Fundamentalist movement.
