The officers are fully armed and quite able to complete the arrest of the preacher he has no weapons with which to oppose them. He stands unarmed amid the throng probably none of his disciples would lift a finger to defend him or if they did, he would bid them put up their sword into its sheath, and yet the officers cannot seize the non-resistant preacher. [00:02:58]
It has always been so the spiritual has conquered the physical, though at first it seemed an unequal conflict, yet in the long run the elder has served the younger, the club of cane may lay able level with the dust, but it does not silence him, from the ground the blood of abel continues still to cry. [00:04:03]
The church which is unable to maintain itself by spiritual power is dying if not dead whenever we think of calling in an arm of flesh to defend the faith, we may very seriously question whether we have not made a mistake and whether that which can be supported by the sword must not greatly differ from the savior's kingdom. [00:01:47]
The most casual reader of christ's discourses would observe that their style is singularly clear and perspicuous and yet their matter is by no means trivial or superficial did every man speak like this man christ jesus for simplicity little children gathered around him for much of what he said was interesting even to them. [00:10:36]
He never gives forth dark sayings that his hearers may discover that his learning is vast and his thinking profound, he is profound and in that respect never man spake like this man, he unveils the mysteries of god, he brings to light the treasures of darkness of the ages past which prophets and kings desired to see but into which they could not pry. [00:11:27]
He was indeed the prince of faithful preachers, not even nathan when he stood before king david and said thou art the man could be more true to human conscience than christ was, how those cutting words of his must have told like rifle bullets when they were first hold against the respectability of the age. [00:16:02]
He neither formed on the great nor pandered to the populace, jesus reproved all classes to their faces concerning their sins, it never occurred to him to seek to please men, he looked to the doing of his father's business and since that business often involved the laying of righteousness to the line of judgment to the plummet, he spared not to do it. [00:16:54]
He was a pillar of light and fire when he spake his words burn their way into men's minds by reason of the sacred enthusiasm with which he delivered them, but yet his fervor never degenerated into wildfire like the zeal of ignorant and over-balanced minds, we know some whose zeal if tempered with knowledge might be of use to the church. [00:19:18]
Now the savior was a preacher whose head was in his heart and his heart was in his head, he never addressed the emotions except by motives which commended themselves to the reason, nor did he instruct the mind without at the same time influencing the heart and conscience, our savior's power as a speaker was comprehensive he aroused the conscience. [00:25:26]
He brought life and immortality to light, he cleared up what had been doubtful, he resolved that which had been mysterious, he declared that which is gracious, that which saves the soul and glorifies god, no preacher was ever laden with so divine a message as christ we who bring the same glad tidings bring the news at second hand. [00:29:33]
Lend me your memories ye people of god, do you remember when first ye heard him speak, we shall not talk of words which cleave the air but of those spirit words which thrill the heart and move the soul, follow me then and recall to fondest memory his words of pity, of which i may truly say never man spake to me like this man. [00:30:10]
We expect that our exalted lord will speak air long with louder voice than a four time, the gospel chariot lags a while as yet he goes not forth conquering and to conquer, but he will yet gird his sword upon his thigh and his voice shall be heard marshaling his hosts for the battle, let but christ give the word. [00:43:01]
