Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Fallen Leader: A Discourse Delivered on Thursday, June 1, 1865, in the Bridge Street Presbyterian Church, Georgetown, D. C "But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel." - Luke xxiv. 21. The followers of Christ, above all others, should be most cautious in applying to merely human greatness those words of Scripture by which especially our divine Master has been described. No being who ever trod the earth or rode the clouds of heaven is worthy of comparison with Him. Neither is any earthly work of deliverance of such priceless worth, as for one moment to be likened to His spiritual redemption of His people. A single reflection will show you that we do not transgress this principle of Scripture use, by the present application made of the passage selected as a text. It appears plainly, from the study of the gospel history, that the disciples of Jesus never attained to the true apprehension of the spiritual nature of the Messiah´s work, as a deliverance of their nation from the bondage of sin, until his interviews with them subsequent to the resurrection. Up to the time of His death, they expected to see him set up an earthly kingdom, and achieve political redemption for Israel from the yoke of Roman bondage.
