At a Conference of Christian men, where the various aspects of the truths relating to the Person of the Christ were under consideration, at the close of the last meeting, a venerable elderly brother arose, and holding up before the assembled company a lovely rose, slowly proceeded to pull off its expanded petals, describing their structure in minute and skillful detail. This he did with each part of the rose, accurately explaining the constituent parts of each structure that together composed the rose. Having laid each part separately on a table, and having paused for a few significant moments, he said, "Now, brethren, where is the rose?" So with the Person of the Christ when we seek to analyse and dissect His holy Person, we have no Christ left — only parts of His Divine Person.
