Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached November 29, 1821, the Day Which Completed One Hundred Years Since the Organization of the Congregational Church in Rehoboth, Mass The period, to which this passage relates, was that immediately following the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. Saul had been a bitter and bloody persecutor of all who called upon the name of Christ. According to his own confession, in his defence before king Agrippa, he was exceedingly mad against the saints in Christ Jesus; and, acting under the highest authority in the Jewish church, shut them up in prison punished them oft in every synagogue, compelled them to blaspheme, persecuted them even unto strange cities, &, which they were put to death, gave his voice against them. Thus he made havock of the churches, robbed them of all peace and rest, and kept them in a state of perpetual tumult and terror. But, when on his way to Demascus, breathing out threatenings and slaughter, and having a commission from the High Priest to bind and bring to Jerusalem all the Christians he might find, he was suddenly arrested in his mad career, by a light and voice from heaven, which struck him to the earth, and constrained him to cry out, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" In a moment, by the invincible influence of the Holy Spirit, he was changed from a persecutor to a follower of Christ, from a blasphemer to a preacher of the faith which before he destroyed.
