Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of Sermons on the Parables and Miracles of Christ: The Essentials of Saving Religion, &C The Redeemer, in carrying out the objects of his Divine Mission, had especially to reveal the will of God, and make known the great truths of his kingdom. Hence the gospels are replete with the gracious words that flowed from his lips. As the Great Teacher he spoke as no man had ever spoken, and not only will this observation apply to the lofty themes on which he dilated, but also as to the manner and style of the discourses he delivered. It was evidently his aim to bring down the loftiest topics to the capacities of the mass of the people, and to simplify the profound principles identified with the scheme of human redemption. And how admirably did he succeed as the Great Prophet of our world. Hence not only did the learned and intellectual listen to him with reverential awe, but the common people heard him gladly. A perusal of the Savior´s addresses will convince us, that the mode of instruction the Divine Preacher adopted, was that of presenting truth in parabolical costume, and hence all classes of persons heard the most sublime ideas addressed to them, through figures and representations which had to do with the every-day events of life, and thus at once their attention was arrested, and their minds enlightened. Thus also many great and difficult subjects were made familiar which they could not have understood had they been presented in a dry, abstract, or metaphysical form. Hence Christ seldom taught but in parables, and these parables relate to many of the most important truths of New Testament revelations. Few portions of the gospel narrative are so rich, so clear and interesting to men in general as the Parables of the Savior. To these unexampled effusions of beautiful and impressive truths, a great portion of this volume Is devoted; and while the imagery is not in any case overlooked, It has been the Author´s chief desire in each sketch, to aim at illustrating and bringing out that which the parable was principally designed to teach.
