Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Impartial Review of the Revival Movement of Messrs. Moody and Sankey: A Discourse; Delivered in Goswell Hall, Caswell Road, London, on Sunday Evening, May 16th, 1875 The occasion on which these words were spoken will be familiar to most of you. Paul and Silas having escaped from prison, proceeded on their mission of preaching Jesus and the Resurrection. Reaching Thessalonica, they found a Jewish Synagogue, into which Paul, as was his custom, entered, and reasoned out of the Scriptures in favor of the new faith, which it was his mission to promulgate. Some believed, whilst others not only rejected his message, but raised a tumult in the city, and by means of instruments well adapted for the purpose, selected from the lowest stratum of society, set the whole place in an uproar. Jason and several other converts to the new religion were dragged before the rulers of the city, with the cry, "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also. Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus." The charge was, of course, a most hypocritical one, since occupying the position that they did at the time, the Jews could have no great liking for Cæsar, and would certainly have been unlikely to manifest much opposition to any new king that might have been set up in his place. There was, however, after all, truth in the statement that the doctrines taught by these men were likely to turn the world upside down; for Christianity did this in every country into which it found its way. From the very first it could be content with nothing short of its own pre-eminence and the consequent subjugation of all systems which might come into collision with its supreme authority.
