And be mid unto them, let us go Into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. - Mark 1: 38. It is ever delightful to the Christian, that he can trace in the way, along which he journeys, the footsteps of his Saviour preceding him. The labors, the sorrows and the joys of his course all become hallowed, when it is seen that the Master has first partaken of them. The cup of affliction is less distasteful to the believer, because our Lord has himself drunk of its bitterness, and left on the brim a lingering fragrance. In prayer, he approaches to God with greater confidence, because he names as his intercessor, one who himself prayed while upon earth, with strong crying and tears, watched all night in supplication on the lone mountain side, and bowed to pray, beneath the olives of Gethsemane, with the bloody dews of anguish on his brow. And the preaching of the word derives its highest glory from the fact, that He who descended into the world to become its ransom, was himself a minister of that Gospel he commissioned others to preach. In the words before us we have Christ's own testimony, that the very purpose of his coming was to preach from town to town of his native land. Jesus Christ was, therefore, a Home Missionary. To this end, blessed Saviour, "earnest thou forth." To thy servants, who have at this time for the like purpose gathered themselves together, wilt thou not then give thy presence and favor, Head of thy Church as thou art, Master of all her assemblies, and the only effectual teacher of all her pastors and evangelists? Aid me, my brethren, with your prayers, while from these words I would commend to your notice The Resemblance BETWEEN YOUR OWN LABORS, AND Books, History~~General, Missionary-Enterprise~~Baron-Stow, , , , , , , , , , General Books LLC<

Excerpt: ... THE GOSPEL ADAPTED TO THE WANTS OF THE WORLD. BT REV. NATHAN S. S. BEMAN, D. D. llis name shall endure for ever : his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him : all nations shall call him blessed. -- Psalm 72 : 17. This divine song has a primary reference to the kingdom of Solomon, the son of David; but was intended, at the same time, to typify the kingdom of Jesus Christ, David''s more exalted son. With this single explanatory remark, I would leave the general structure of the Psalm, and the exposition of its various parts, to your own reflections. The passage to which I particularly invite your attention, asserts the extent and duration of the reign of Jesus Christ upon the earth, and presents a glowing picture of its prosperity and happiness. In relation to its extent, it is to embrace all nations, and in duration, it shall be continued as long as the sun. In other words, the kingdom of Jesus Christ -- the Gospel kingdom -- shall embrace all the nations of the earth, and endure, with undiminished power and glory, while the world itself shall stand. It is clearly asserted, too, that the happiness of the human family will be greatly increased under the predicted reign of the Son of God. Men shall be blessed in him : all nations shall call him blessed. Nothing can be more obvious than that this prediction asserts, that the religion of the Gospel will hereafter become, and will continue to be, the prevailing religion of our world. This fact is fully settled in the Bible. It was, for ages, the grand theme of the Old Testament prophets -- and the truths which they committed, in strains of exalted poetry, to the sacred lyre, have been taken up and expounded with such clearness by their New Testament successors -- by the Son...
