Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Apostolical Commission: The Sermon at the Consecration of the Right, Reverend Leonidas Polk, D.D., Missionary Bishop for Arkanas It was a time of singular interest in the development of the divine purposes of grace to this world, when Jesus delivered these words to his Apostles. He stood before them in his once dead, but now risen body; ready to return to the right hand of God the Father, from whence he had come. The hour of his ascension is at hand. The preparation for the full establishment of his Church under the new and final dispensation is complete. The whole Mosaic economy in is just about to expire. It has been one of light in comparison with the darkness that surrounded it, but of light shut up, like the mystic candlestick of its own tabernacle, in a single habitation, and shining upon only a single family of all the kindreds of the earth. That light is now to be brought out and set on high Sand made the light of the world. The gospel of salvation, by Jesus Christ, which by types and prophecies had before been preached obscurely only to a chosen people, is now to be read, unveiled, and published to every nation under heaven. Since the days of the Patriarchs, the Church had been national and local; it was now to be catholic, as well as to place and time as nation; catholic, because opening her gates to all people; catholic, because diffusing her blessings overall the earth; catholic, because intended for all ages to the end of the world.
