Excerpt from A Sermon Preached in the United Presbyterian Church, Mansfield, Ohio, January 24, 1864Paul claims to be an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead. So soon as he experienced the power of the grace of God, and was invested with apostolical authority by the King and Head of the Church, he entered upon the work of an apostle with all the activity of an earnest man, and all the energies of his renewed nature. He not only preached the gospel of Christ from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, but, with the pen of a ready writer, he conveyed instruction to those churches from which he was bodily absent. To his other labors, he seems, to some extent, to have added the work of a theological precep tor. Both Timothy and Titus were prepared for the duties of the ministry under his direction. When they were actually engaged in the ministerial work, he watched over them with paternal solicitude. To Timothy, the youthful preacher, and Paul's beloved son in the Lord, the letter from which our text is taken was addressed. But its applica tion is not limited to Timothy, or the times and localities in which he labored. Its instructions come not simply with the force of opinions expressed by a noble father in the church, but its teachings are addressed to all gospel ministers, in all times and countries, by Jesus Christ, through the instrumentality of his inspired Apostle. With these preliminary remarks, we proceed to the discussion of our text.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
