Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ministry of S. John the Baptist, and the Baptism and Temptation of the Lord Jesus Christ: An Exegetical Essay Upon the First Three Gospels
It is this twofold Being characteristic of the Great Mediator, which renders the consideration of His Life, on the one hand, so obligatory, and so elevating to our minds if prosecuted aright, and on the other, so full of difficulty and even of danger. If there be irreverence or scepticism in our spirit, we shall speedily stumble and fall and be broken. But even though we are entirely conscious to our selves of a willingness to learn that, and only that, which He designs to teach us, and though, in grate ful acknowledgment of His stooping to come thus near, we dare not refuse to scan this glorious object with the very closest attention we can command, we yet are often compelled to feel, that even where He most evidently invites us to consider and under derstand, we see That before us, which we find it 'hard to interpret, whether to others or to our own understandings.
