Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Virgin Birth: A Sermon Preached in New York Avenue Presbyterian Church The song of Mary echoes through the anthems of the centuries. That Babe of Bethlehem reveals to us the great things done for humanity. He is the most illustrious personality among men. He is the Messiah of prophesy - the Christ of history; the Saviour of the world. It is not sufficient to tell us that the story is but a pleasant myth, but a useful legend, but a graceful and gracious sentiment, but an impressive fable for the nursery. We need the larger and satisfying interpretation both of His life and birth, as well as of His death. His life is an efficient and magnificent fact, but if, coming into that life, His birth was but the birth of common humanity; if one that night at Bethlehem only a man was born, then He is on an equality with all other humanity. Born as others, He is a teacher as others, and though born with special aptitude to religion, yet after all His teaching is only a philosophy - a good human guess at the puzzle of the universe - a Socrates, a Plato, an Emerson, speaking great, grand thoughts for us and for the race. But more than this must be if there be in His presence disclosure and authoritative revelation of actual and authoritative truth. As Christians we must know whom we follow. Are we disciples of a child of shame? Are we, and the hundreds of thousands with us, obedient only to a man - true and strong indeed, but only a man - or do we in reality listen to and follow the Son of Man who is a Son of God - in His birth, in His life, in His death, in His resurrection and ascension, a supernatural revelation in human flesh? 1. The Narrative. - Studying His ancestry we turn of necessity to the scriptures. Here are the steps and sign-posts toward the great event. We begin at Eden and read the promise announced so distinctly to "the seed of the woman." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
