Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Modern Sermons by World Scholars
But it is doubtful if this generation, with its quickened and sometimes feverish activities, its intense love Of all that is practical, can be called an age of worship. Is it not therefore worth while to consider once again what the gospel has to tell us Of the worship of the Savior, in order that we ourselves may an swer more fully the essential demands of worship which come to us as Christian men, and that we may realize more definitely the component parts of that attitude toward our God which marks our deepest humility and therefore our highest exaltation; that efiort through which, and through which alone, all our weak human endeavors will be accepted in the face Of the beloved?
And perhaps such an investigation may be made most practical by a study of the word worship as the gospels apply it to men's relation to the Son of Man. We may remark at the outset as worthy of note that the word, I worship (zpodxvrem), is Oftenest used in this connection (ten times in all) by that dis tinctively Jewish evangelist whose acquaint ance with the Scriptures would incline him to connect the word with the earlier worship Of Jehovah Himself. But this use is not quite confined to Matthew. Each Of the other Gos pels contains a single instance, and in all three cases a new and therefore valuable fea ture is brought to light.
