Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons, Vol. 2 of 2 "By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones." - Hebrews, xi. 22. We have often occasion to point out to you what a difference there is in the standards by which God and men judge the relative worth or importance of things. In one great sense, indeed, there cannot be to God any of those distinctions which exist to ourselves; for, wondrously exalted as He is, things must be equal in his sight, which differ in ours in many respects and degrees. It is undoubtedly to forget the immeasurable distance of the Creator from the creature, to imagine that He who sitteth in the heavens, swaying the universal sceptre, regards as great, and as small, just what are reckoned such in our feeble computations. There ought to be nothing clearer than this - if our great and our small were great and small to God, God would be little more than one of ourselves, judging by the same measures, and therefore possessing only the same faculties. Yet, though the distinctions made by God must not be thought the same with those made by man, we are not to conclude that God admits no differences where differences are supposed by ourselves. We are evidently in error, if we think that what is great to us must be great to God, and that what is small to us must be small to God: but it is not necessary, in order to the avoiding this error, that we should confound great and small, or compute that in God´s sight they must be actually the same. They may not be the same; they may be widely separated: and yet none of them may be great to God, none of them small: whilst, moreover, the divine estimate may be the reverse of the human, great and small changing places, so far as difference is allowed between the two. It is this latter fact on which we now chiefly wish to fix your attention. Take, for example, our sins. We deny that there can be such a thing as a sin which is small in God´s sight; forasmuch as sin, from its very nature, must be of infinite guilt, because committed against an infinite Being.
