Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermon We expect to find in our Bible a text suitable for every occasion. In the hour of sorrow we look for the word of comfort; in the day of toil we seek renewed strength; in the crisis of decision we are guided by its principles; in the temptations of life we derive from it insight for choice and courage for action. No other book offers us equal aid and hence we open our Bible to-day with a confidence that is based on personal experience. We expect our text to be a living germ of truth to us, a fruitful theme for our thought, a practical means of knowing what God thinks of us and what he would have us think of him. Like a seed our text should grow downward and upward, downward into our own life and upward into the life of God. Sent forth by him his word returns to him again in the life that is uplifted and purified by it. An occasion like this emphasizes educational aims and educational attainments. It calls attention to the value of mental development associated with moral and religious culture. If our Lord were here this morning in visible presence would it not be a most suitable occasion for him to speak? He could speak as a great Teacher and a great Leader of men. Surely no discoveries of science since the beginning of the Christian era and no progress in philosophy would leave him without a message for this audience, discredit him as a Teacher or discard him as a Leader. My text comes from his lips and would that my sermon come from the same source! If I have chosen my text my text has also chosen me. It is not mine by my own act alone. In like manner I ask you to choose this text and let this text choose you and lay hold of you and inspire you and even govern you.
