Hebrews 10:11-13 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:… The Being presented by this inspired declaration is Jesus Christ; and Christianity is the system of truth of which He is the centre — its Alpha and Omega. Its supremacy is inferred — 1. From the fact that God has established and introduced it to human knowledge. 2. From its interior structure, its fitness to man, the reply which it gives to His deepest demands. 3. From the fact that the supremacy of Christianity will nobly complete the circle of history; will give unity, wholeness to the annals of the race, and will show through their courses a sublime method. 4. The specific declarations of God in the Scriptures assure us of that result. 5. The historic progress of Christianity among men, with the nature of the arena on which it now acts, gives assurance of its supremacy. How then ought its friends to labour for Christianity, to spread its truth, its promise, and life I How vividly also does this last thought come to us: the personal obligation of each of us to submit from the heart to Christ's dominion. The ancient legend of the Church, that Julian died exclaiming as he expired, "Galilean, Thou hast conquered," is certain to be realised in the substance of its history in every soul not submitted to Christ. His rule at last shall be complete, and the period of that sway shall compass eternity. In that last and glorious age there will be found no place on earth, no place in heaven for him who hath not bowed to Christ! The dominion of Messiah hath no promises for him. (R. S. Storrs, D. D.)
