Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial of Nathaniel W. Tailor, Taylor, D. D: Three Sermons Christ himself is the light of the world - the true light - the sun of righteousness, with healing in his wings. He himself testifies, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." His coming into the world is the rising of an infinite light on them who were in darkness. He makes God, duty, sin, and the relations of the conscious soul to God and eternity, manifest in this dark world, and "that which maketh manifest is light." Where he is made known in the story of his incarnation, of his life on earth, of his death and resurrection, and of his ascension and kingdom - where he is made known in the divine beauty of his character, in the simple grandeur and power of his teaching, and in the ineffable condescension and ineffable glory of his redeeming work - there is light; for there God is revealed to men, and especially revealed to every attentive, trembling, penitent and believing soul. Yet Christ says to his disciples, "Ye are the light of the world." They are the light of the world because he shines in them, and by means of them he makes God manifest to men. Every believer in Christ becomes a witness for him, and an instance and illustration of his power to save. Every believer in whom Christ is the hope of glory, and who, being in Christ, becomes a new creature, renewed in knowledge and true holiness, shines as a light in the world, holding forth the word of life. Christ is with them - he hath given them light; and therefore, where such men are, there God is known - there God´s government, God´s holy displeasure against sin, God´s mercy and forgiveness, and all the soul´s relations to the unseen world, are felt to be realities. Where such men are, an illumination from Christ strikes on the consciences of all who become acquainted with their principles, aims, sympathies and hopes. It is by virtue of their relation to Christ, and of the testimony which they give for him, that they are the light of the world. Thus it becomes evident in what distinctive sense it is that every true minister of Christ is, in the measure of his gifts and of his fidelity in using them, a light in the world.
