Excerpt from Sermons Preached in Manchester St. Matthew xxi. 44. Whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. As Christ's ministry drew to its close, its severity and its gentleness both increased, its severity to the class to whom it was always severe, and its gentleness to the class from whom it never turned away. Side by side, through all His manifestation of Himself, t...

Excerpt from The Second Book of Kings: From Chap, VIII., And the Books of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah This is a strange, wild story. That Damascene monarchy burst into sudden power, warlike and commercial - for the two things went together in those days. As is usually the case, Hazael the successful soldier becomes ambitious. His sword seems to be the real sceptre, and he will have the dominion. Many years before this Elijah had anointed h...

Excerpt from The Wearied Christ and Other Sermons Two pictures result from these two verses, each striking in itself, and gaining additional emphasis by the contrast. It was near the close of a long, hot days march that a tired band of pedestrians turned into the fertile valley. There, whilst the disciples went into the little hill-village to purchase, if they could, some food from the despised inhabitants, Jesus, apparently too exhausted to ...

Excerpt from Week-Day Evening Addresses: Delivered in Manchester And Elijah the Tishblte ... said ... As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand. This solemn and remarkable adjuration seems to have been habitual upon Elijah's lips in the great crises of his life. We never find it used by any but himself, and his scholar and successor, Elisha. Both of the men employ it under similar circumstances, as if unveiling the very secret o...

Excerpt from The Conquering Christ: And Other Sermons One of the disciples of the Baptist who heard his proclamation of the Lamb of God was John, afterwards the apostle and writer of the Apocalypse. Long years had passed since that hour. The Baptist slept in a bloody grave. The young fisherman had learned to know Jesus with a larger knowledge, and to love Him with a love more than life. He had found in Jesus depths which he had little dreamed...

Excerpt from The Gospel According St. Mark: Chapters I. To VIII My purpose now is to point out some of the various connections in which the New Testament uses that familiar phrase, 'the gospel, ' and briefly to gather some of the important thoughts which these suggest. Possibly the process may help to restore freshness to a word so well worn that it slips over our tongues almost unnoticed and excites little thought. The history of the word i...

Excerpt from Expositions of Holy Scripture: Ephesians That is Paul's way of describing a church. There were plenty of very imperfect Christians in the community at Ephesus and in the other Asiatic churches to which this letter went. As we know, there were heretics amongst them, and many others to Whom the designa tion of 'holy' seemed inapplicable. But Paul classes them all under one category, and describes the whole body of believing people ...

Excerpt from Christ in the Heart: And Other Sermons Prise any man who believes ln 3 living God at all, and in the possibility, therefore, of a connection between the Great Spirit, and all the human spirits which are His children. I would maintain, in opposition to many modern conceptions, the actual supernatural character of the gift that is bestowed upon every Christian soul. My reading of the New Testament is that as distinctly above the or...

Excerpt from The Books of Esther, Job, Proverbs, and EcclesiastesHaman was as superstitious as cruel, and so he sought for. Auguries from heaven for his hellish pur pose, and cast the lot to find the favourable day for bringing it about. He is not the only one who has sought divine approval for wicked public acts. Religion has been used to varnish many a crime, and Te Dewms sung for many a victory which was little better than Haman's plot.The ...
