The Coming One.

By Wm. C. Baynes

WHILE sentence was still sounding in the ears of the guilty pair, behold! the promise of Himself is given: “Hear, O heavens! and give ear, O earth! for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it,”—the wounded seed of the poor sinful woman is to rise victorious, and bruise the serpent’s head. “He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.” Yes, glory to God! that bright and Morning Star, that shone out six thousand years ago, shedding its hopeful rays over this sin-stricken earth, has come on descending, like a bright comet, more and more clear as it approaches the earth. So we distinctly trace—“the seed of the woman;” then, farther on—“the seed of Abraham;” and, farther still—the seed of David; and still more near—“the virgin’s Seed,”—until heaven opens, and the Son of man is proclaimed the beloved Son of God.—Wm. C. Baynes.
