Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Salvation and Prosperity; A Sermon: Delivered in St. John´s Church, Baltimore, Before the Annual Conference of the Maryland Disd April, 1839 Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord! O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. - Psalm 118. 25. The text is one of those numerous examples, which occur in the Book of Psalms, of great intensity and earnestness in prayer, and is an expressive model of the fervency of spirit with which we should ever call upon God. Some special and very interesting object of solicitation seems to have engrossed the mind of the Psalmist; which, by considering the context, and the interpretations bestowed upon it, both by Jewish and Christian writers, we shall find to be wholly spiritual in its nature; or, in other words, that this Psalm is prophetic of the coming of Christ, and of the spiritual blessings promised to accompany his reign. Of such import evidently are the following verses: Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord: This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee; for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the headstone of the comer. This is the Lord´s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. The evangelical reference of these verses, and especially of the two last, will readily be perceived, when we call to mind, that both our Saviour and the Apostle Peter applied them with emphatic distinction to himself, as the promised Messiah. It is said also, by an able commentator; That learned Jews, both ancient and modern, confess, that reference is here made to Christ and his kingdom; and, on that account, probably, it was, that this Psalm was always repeated or sung by them after their passover. In accordance with which, and as carrying out the same allusion, the Church of England has appointed the same portion of Scripture as a part of her ritual for Easter Day, to commemorate the resurrection of Christ, and his glorious exaltation as Redeemer of the world.
