Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon, Delivered at Bath, June 27, 1849, Before the Maine Missionary Society: At Its Forty-Second Anniversary Jacob was third in the illustrious line from Abraham to Christ; and his name is often used in the Old Testament scriptures to designate the Church - the chosen people of God. There is a propriety in retaining this use of his name under the gospel. In some respects he is as striking a type of the Christian Church as he was of the Jewish. Jacob stood in the direct line from the promise to the coming of Christ. The Church stands in the direct line from his coming to his final triumph; and forms another and brighter part of the same mighty chain of agencies which is to hold back the world from wreck, draw it to Christ, and bind it to his throne. God covenanted with Jacob, and remembered all the words of his covenant; so He has a covenant with the church, ordered in all things and sure. Jacob wrestled with the Angel till the break of day; so the Church wrestles, not only with principalities and powers, but with God also; and so it will wrestle, till a day of millennial glory breaks upon the world. God would "cause them that come of Jacob to take root, and bud and blossom, and fill the face of the world with fruit;" so has he caused the Church to take root, and will cause her to take still deeper root, send out her boughs unto the sea, her branches unto the river, cover the hills with her shadow, bud and blossom abundantly, and scatter her fruit over all the earth.
