472 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES by whom He had wrought out their redemption. He declared that the hand that sustains the worlds in space, and holds in their orderly arrangements and tireless activity all things throughout the universe of God, is the hand that was nailed to the cross for them. ^'By Him were all things created,'' Paul wrote, ^'that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers : all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.'' "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in His sight." The Son of God stooped to uplift the fallen. For this He left the sinless worlds on high, the ninety and nine that loved Him, and came to this earth, to be "wounded for our transgressions" and "bruised for our iniquities."' He was in all things made like unto His brethren. He became flesh, even as we are. He knew what it meant to be hungry and thirsty and weary. He was sustained by food and refreshed by sleep. He was a stranger and a sojourner on the earth, — in the world, but not of the world ; tempted and tried as men and women of to-day are tempted and tried, yet living a life free from sin. Tender, compassionate, sympathetic, ever considerate of others. He represented the character of God. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, . . . full of grace and truth. ' ' ' ^Isa. 53:5. ''John 1:14.
