Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Duty of Interesting Children in the Missionary Cause, and How This Is to Be Done The christian dispensation, however, looks with peculiar interest and earnest expectation to the young. "Of such is the kingdom of heaven," "Out of their mouths God now perfects praise," and in the christian temple, their voices swell the general anthem of "Hosanna to the Son of David." Even "on our sons and our daughters the Spirit of God is to be poured out," "that our young men and maidens may" unite in proclaiming the glad tidings of salvation, and while "the Spirit and the Bride say, come," echo their free and universal invitation to all the guilty and the perishing, and by every means in their power say unto them, "come." And in fulfilment of this promise we hear the apostle John saying, "I write unto you little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name´s sake. I write unto you young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you; and ye have overcome the wicked one. And now little children abide in him; that when he shall appear ye may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming." Hence it is that parents are laid under obligation not only to "train their children in the way that they should go, that when they are old they may not depart from it," but to "bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," that is, as the words certainly mean, and should be rendered, in order to make them more intelligible, "bring them up in the education and discipline of christians," that is, of those who "are the Lord´s." We are thus taught that our children by their baptism are devoted to the Lord, and become members of his church and kingdom, and that we are under obligation to bring them up as such, not merely by instructing them, and thoroughly imbuing their minds with christian truth, but also by accustoming them to, and interesting them in, every part of christian activity, devotedness, and zeal.
