Beebe on Life Brought To Light

In my recent series on "Hardshell Proof Texts," I dealt with II Timothy 1: 10 where we read - "brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."  See here

I found the following quotation from Elder Beebe on the passage and he does not argue on it as do today's Hardshells.  Beebe said:

"The eternal life of all the church of God was manifested in the person of Christ, by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, rising in immortal life from the dead. The gospel brought this life and immortality to light to the faith of all the Old Testament saints, so that they all had the same clear perception of it in Christ as those to whom the gospel brings it to light now. To the saints individually and experimentally, the gospel brings life and immortality to light by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, when he is manifested to them in the new birth."  See here
