Excerpt from Christmas SermonsThis passage has ordinarily been regarded as the first glimpse of Christ and His work to be caught from the Old Testament. It has long been called the first of the Messianic passages. Our fathers saw in these words a definite prediction of the coming of Jesus and of His triumph over evil. Christ was the seed of the woman to whom the author looked for the world's redemption.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
