The redemption of the body, by the work of Christ, as truly as the redemption of the soul, is a palpable truth, which every honest Bible-reader must sooner or later accept. How much of this redemption is to be possessed in this dispensation of grace, can only be determined by the expression of the will of God through the gospel. God “hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son;” not only by every word and precept that came from those hallowed lips, but by every act of love and compassion which came from his loving heart, and issued from the daily life of him who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
