Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plain Sermons, Vol. 8: Contributors to the "Tracts for the Times;" "And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this Man hath done nothing amiss." As the collects after the Epiphany remind us, one after another, of our Christian privileges, so now that Lent is drawing near, the great season of mortification and repentance, the Church takes the like method of recalling to our minds the great Christian duties, - faith, hope, and charity: for an exercise of which in their order the collects for these three Sundays, Septuagesima, Sexagesima, Quinquagesima, are very well fitted, and were most likely intended. And first the collect for this Sunday is such, that whoever uses it with a Christian mind must have true Gospel faith in the great doctrine of the forgiveness of sins. "O lord, we beseech Thee favourably to receive the prayers of Thy people, that we who are justly punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by Thy goodness, for the glory of Thy Name, through Jesus Christ our Saviour: Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end." Here we are taught, first, the true temper of an acceptable penitent coming before his God in prayer; that is, to confess himself, in good earnest, justly punished for his many offences. Then we are taught where his hope is: not in himself, nor in any thing he can do, but entirely in the goodness of Almighty God, against Whom his sins were committed.
