Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Destined Efficiency of Juvenile Missionary Effort The great importance of the subject, and the very partial attention which it has yet received, lead me once more to present to the churches the question of Juvenile missions. I will, on this occasion, endeavour to prove the destined efficiency of Juvenile Missionary effort in the evangelization of the world. This, I think, is most explicitly taught by our Divine Redeemer in the discourse recorded in Matth. xxi. 12 - 16: "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them. And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were sore displeased, and said unto him, hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" This whole narrative is strictly historical, and cannot therefore be interpreted as merely figurative. These children were in the temple, most probably for the purpose of worship, and when our Saviour entered, they were led to apply to Him as the Son of David, that language which the occasion required them to offer unto the Lord Jehovah. This worship our Lord Jesus Christ not only permitted, but approved, and in opposition to the scorn and contumely of the "chief priests and scribes," justified by an express quotation of scripture.
