Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Sermons by World Scholars, Vol. 5 of 10: Hoyt to Loofs
And so it was with Christ always. He was a revealer of life. He spoke to the best in man and called it forth. Only the hypocrite shrank from Him. Little children went to Him, and the broken-hearted and sinful knew Him as a friend. He saw in Peter and John, the rough fishermen, the open-mindedness and loyalty and courage Of great apostles. He saw in the sinful woman who washed His feet with tears Of penitence and wiped them with her hair, not the outcast, but the soul washed Of its sin, capable Of great love and sacrifice. He saw in Levi, the despised tax-gatherer, that poverty Of spirit, that hunger after a better life, that would make him a true dis ciple and the writer Of the first gospel. He saw in Saul the conscientious Pharisee, the religious zealot, the capacity for profound conviction and sustained enthusiasm and un wearied labor that made him the missionary apostle.
