Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from This Ministry; A Sermon Preached at the Opening of the Synod of New Jersey: In the Second Presbyterian Church of Elizabethtown, October 15th, 1850 1. The General Nature and Validity of this Ministry. As the Apostles were specially chosen to testify the resurrection of Christ as eye-witnesses; to reveal his will infallibly; and to confirm it by miraculous powers, it seems quite obvious, that their office was an extraordinary one, and therefore, that it expired at their death. Whatever then, may be said as to the successorship, of such an office, we are free to say, that we acknowledge no claims to the distinction, as they have been put forth by a certain class of modern dignitaries. But though the design of the Apostolic commission has been accomplished, and the office from the very nature of the case has expired, the Great Head of the Church among his ascension gifts "gave pastors and teachers for the work of the ministry." Here, then, is the office designated in the text. It is an office instituted by the Lord Jesus, as a standing ordinance, and the highest in grade, since the Apostolic age, in the Christian Church. The appointment of the Christian ministry is one of the very greatest blessings to mankind. Ever since the first revelation to this lost world, God has had some to make known his will, and to urge its high and holy claims to regard. This is a point of too much consequence, not to command attention. It was so in the Patriarchal ages, both before and after the flood, and perhaps to an extent, and with a clearness far beyond what is generally supposed.
