Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Parables of the Lord Jesus According to S. Matthew
Left without excuse. As the relations hereafter to be rep resented are new, and bound up with His own divine per son and work, it is fitting, also, that they should find a new vehicle of expression. Not as the completion of the old, but as the beginning of a new dispensation, does Jesus now set Himself forth. It is no longer as a Jew to Jews that He speaks, but to men as men. It is meet and right that the language which He makes use of, accordingly, should not be that of any school, or sect, or party, but a language taken from the symbolism of nature itself, and common to all men'. The appeal He makes, in like man ner, is to the conscience and heart of man, and not to the intellect or logical faculty, for the reason that the kingdom which He comes to establish in the world is a spiritual kingdom, and one whose foundations are to rest upon the moral convictions of men.
