Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ and Him Crucified, the Great Theme of Evangelical Preaching, the World's Hope and the Basis of Church Prosperity: A Sermon, Preached Before the Convention of Congregational Ministers, in the First Congregational Church in Albany, Oct. 5th, 1852 I. What is the import of the Apostle's determination. And II. What were the reasons which influenced him in forming it. I. Now to know, or, which is the true meaning of the phrase to make known Christ and him crucified is to proclaim him in the glory of his person and excellence of his work, especially that part of his work that consists in his giving himself to die as a propitiatory sacrifice for the sins of the world. To do this, the Apostle tells us, was the deliberate and settled purpose of his ministry. We are not, however, to infer from his language in our text that he meant to confine his preaching to the single topic of Christ crucified. This would be putting a construction upon his words that would prove him false to his own determina tion, and make him a very unskillful dispenser of divine truth. He doubtless preached at Corinth the same system of religion that he did at Rome, and taught the same doctrines in his ser mons that he did in his epistles. We know from the history of his ministry that his preaching did take a very wide range, em bracing the being, perfections, law and government of God, the character, state and destiny of man, together with the various duties that grow out of our numerous relations and circumstances in life.
