Excerpt from The Reality of Jesus
The reality of life concerns every man. Jesus is that Reality. The new thought of men is concentrated on the significance, the nature and the value of human personality. Personality lies at the root of the problems of life. In the final issue, religion will be found to be the sovereign factor in recreative forces. Religion is the loyal and passionate personal relationship of the soul to God. Jesus establishes this relationship in terms of human experience.
The Reality of Jesus is the energy of individual character and the vital power of social reconstruction. Theories as to collective betterment are futile, if the personal will to righteousness is wanting. Spiritual forces in the personal soul are the dynamic of progress.
The Religion of Jesus is the reality of life. If a sense of unreality haunts men with regard to religion, Jesus is misunderstood or misrepresented. There is nothing remote, occult or unreal about Him. He is vital. He strips religion of everything artificial and reveals life. He is at once simpler and deeper than all expositions concerning Him.
