Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America: At Their Thirty-Fifth Annual Meeting, Held in New York, October, 1870 Preached before the Board of Missions, at Calvary Church, New York, on Sunday evening, October 23d, 1870, by the Rev. Charles H. Hall, D.D., Rector of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, Long Island. St. Matt, xxviii. 20. - "And, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." These are the last words of the Gospel of St. Matthew. The first, readers of this book, rose from the perusal with this promise in their minds. To all of us, the departing Saviour seems to be represented as if uttering these words, even as He vanishes out of the visible world. Like the dying cadences of a Divine song which has been thrilling in our ears, with the mysteries of "God manifest in the flesh" - these are the sweet notes of the finale, Christ Jesus always with us; always represented to us in works and words of mercy, or produced to our faith in His Church by all the means which seem to tell us of Him - not as One who is content to be worshipped as sitting at the right hand of the Majesty on high, but with us, at our side, in our closets, in our houses and streets, our churches, our poor and suffering brethren. When He comes again in person, the doctrine is the same. "I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat." "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye did it unto Me." This principle is an elementary part of Christian philosophy, as our Lord declared. "It is expedient for you that I go away." "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and (yet) have believed." It is not to be conceived that the actual presence of the body of Jesus of Nazareth in one spot at a time on the earth, though we should attach to it all the influences possible to a glorified spiritual congeries of superhuman powers - the light of angels and their tongues, the visible beauties which we would fain attribute to personified holiness, and the eloquence with which no man ever spake - could be now desirable compared with this universal consciousness of the common faith in His effectual presence to all who are His disciples.
