G. Campbell Morgan on the Advent

The Purpose of the Advent was to:

1) Destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8)

2) To Take Away Sins (1 John 3:5)

3) To Reveal the Father (John 14:9)

4) To Prepare for a Second Advent (Hebrews 9:28)

“He was manifested and by that manifestation I see wrought out the infinite truth of the passion of God, what we speak of…as the Atonement. All the mystery of Deity was rendered visible by the Advent, the Incarnation, the Manifestation, so I know that here and now, as nineteen centuries ago on the rough Roman gibbet, as surely as God is God, here and now are the living values of the thing of which men sang and which we still sing. Here and now I trust, and here and now I know that my sins are lifted, carried, borne away.”
