Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On Preaching Christ Professing ourselves Christians, I hope, we are satisfied upon careful and rational inquiry, that the religion of Jesus comes from God; and that it is a most glorious dispensation, no less for the sublime wonders of its doctrine, than the divine purity of its precepts. Now in all the peculiar glories of this region, Christ is interwoven like Phidias name in the shield, which could not be effaced without destroying the shield itself; so that preaching Christ and preaching the Gospel are, in Scripture style, synonymous terms. I. To preach Christ, therefore, is our charge, our business, and our glory. But, who is sufficient for these things? Give me leave, then, my dear brethren and friends, to remind myself and you, what regard a minister should have to our Redeemer in his preaching. 1. Let us make Christ the end of our preaching. If we seek principally to please men, then are we not the servants of Christ. If we look no farther than our own reputation, or temporal advantage, appropriating our talents to our own private use, how shall we make up our accounts to our divine Master? Our ultimate end should be the personal glory of Christ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
