Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Influence of Missions on People and Nations: A Discourse Preached by the Appointment of the Synod of Nashville, at Their Meeting in the City of Nashville, October 4th, 1854 Isaiah XXXV: I. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. Under the figure of a desert covered with vegetation and adorned with flowers, we have, in the text, a prediction of the vocation of the Gentiles, and of the glorious triumphs of the Christian dispensation. Long, indeed, did the nations remain as a bleak and barren desert, without any blossoms of piety or fruits of holiness; but when God´s own Son died on the cross, "the just for the unjust," the wilderness and solitary place were made glad. We use the passage to describe the success of Missions. The grand object of Missions is the conversion to God of a world lying in wickedness. This idea should never be overlooked - never be forgotten. In prosecuting the work to this object, every other must be esteemed subordinate. But, whilst this is true, we think the secular and secondary benefits of Missions are so great and important as to deserve at least an occasional consideration. On this point comparatively little has been written or spoken. Some of these collateral advantages and blessings we intend to discuss in this discourse.
