Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Necessity for a Christian Ministry in Special Adaptation to the Poor: Two Sermons, Preached in Renshaw Street Chapel, Liverpool: (With a Prospectus of the Objects and Plan of the Proposed Ministry) The argument which the Christ left John to gather from these facts, he on another occasion drew out in express words - "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because," mark the because, beautiful argument of a beautiful Theology, "the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." The Spirit of the Lord was indeed upon him, who understood that to be his mission. We need not miracle to prove that God was in him, and he in God. What is remarkable in these passages is, that Jesus makes the strongest proof that he was the Messiah of God to consist in his bringing a gospel to the poor, arguing of Heavens truth, that if it was accommodated to the poorest, it must be universal, as he argued of Heaven´s Providence, from the sparrows flight calculated, and the hairs of the head numbered, that it must be universal. In these things the lesser includes the greater, and to preach such a doctrine was to make out a claim to be the fitting representative of the Father of all. In fine harmony with the character of his mission, as an evidence of his being the Sent of God, above miracle, above cleansing to the leper, above sight to the blind, above hearing to the deaf, above the very dead raised, there comes to close the climax, the crowning and the diviner fact, "that the poor had a gospel preached to them."
