Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Types and Emblems Being a Collection of Sermons Preached on Sunday and Thursday Evenings at the Metropolitan Tabernacle
Our Lord as a star has an authority which he has valiantly won. Wherever Christ is king he has had a great and a stern fight for it. Remember the dread con?ict in Gethsemane in which he says, I have trodden the wine press alone. When he came red with his own gore from Calvary, he had in fact there and then put to ?ight the hosts of Bozrah and of Edom, and stained his garments with the victor' s crimson. He who, then, travelled in the greatness of his strength is mighty still to save. In every human heart Where Jesus reigns he reigns through having dislodged, by the force of grace, the old tyrant who had fixed his sovereignty there. The maintenance of that sovereignty within the heart is the result of the same powerful sceptre of his love and grace. Oh, that King Jesus would put forth his power and get a throne in more hearts Believers, do vou not long to see him glorious? I know you do if you love him. You would live for this, you would die for this - that Christ might have his own, and drive the milk-white steeds of triumph through the streets of Jerusalem, all his people bowing before him and strewing his pathway with their honours. O sinners would to God' that you would yield to him. I pray that now he! May gird his sword upon his thigh, and by the power of grace constrain you to how your willing necks to his silver sceptre. Brethren and sisters, it is a mournful fact that Christ has so small a part of the world as yet in his royal power. See, the gods of the heathen stand fast upon their pedestals. The old harlot of Rome still ?aunts in her scarlet. The crescent of Mahomed wanes.
